Can you file personal AND small business taxes in one place using "Turbo Tax Self-Employed" or do I also need Turbo Tax business for my business taxes?

If you have a small business that is a single person LLC, you can use Turbo Tax Self-Employed for the online version, or Home and Business for the desktop product.  This allows you to prepare a Schedule C for your business and include that in your personal return.  

If your business is a multi-person LLC, S corporation, or C corporation, you will need to prepare two returns, one for the business with Turbo Tax Business and one for your personal, using which ever version is best for you.  Here is a link to our product comparison page

Very helpful ! Thank you! One more question, do you know if it's possible to down-grade from self-employed to deluxe? We purchased the self employed thinking we could do our personal and the business in one, but since it is an s-corp, we cant. So we no longer have a need for the self-employed option and really only need the $39.99 option.

You can as you have not already paid for it and you can clear the data in the return, before you select which version. This TurboTax FAQ has directions.
