I do not need to file self-employed. Why is that my only option?

Did you have cash, 1099-MISC or K-1 income?

You are prompt to use Self-employed version maybe because that's the version you used last year.  If you want to change it, simply use the "clear and start over" feature in the program.  See 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

2.  To your left, select Tools, click on the drop-down menu

3. Select Clear and Start Over

4.  Follow the prompts to select the right version
