How do i change 2018 filing status from self-employed?

You can simply use the "clear and start over" feature in the program.  You are prompt to use the Self-employed version because that's the version you used last year.  If you are not self-employed anymore, you can downgrade the version by following the steps below.  Please note that by doing so, it erases the current entries if there are any, but will keep the previous information from last year including your personal info, the income categories and the different schedules you have filed.  Follow the prompts and program will revisit those areas for clarification and assist you to select the appropriate version for your new tax return.  

1. Sign into your account, select Take me to my return

3. Select Clear and Start Over
