I am not self-employed anymore, does that change how I file?

I did direct sales in 2015, but not in 2016. I am filing, but it says self-employed. Does that change my methos of filing?

It depends on the forms you received. If you received a W-2 for the 2016 year instead of a 1099, then it does change the way you file. You would not need the Turbo Tax Self-Employed package, you would need the Turbo Tax Premier or Turbo Tax Deluxe package depending on which forms you are filing.
