Since TurboTax automatically starts you off in the version you used last year, or you accidentally upgraded to the Self-Employed version, please review the information below to get out of the Self-Employed version by downgrading.
- Since you are a TurboTaxSelf Employed Customer, I have included the Contact Us link at the bottom, if you would like additional assistance.
In order to downgrade you may need to Clear & Start Over.
- You can clear and start over as long as you haven't paid or registered yet.
- Please note that "clear and start over" will remove/delete all data you have entered Both Federal and State.

Once
you've cleared your return you should be brought back to the original
screen that says, "Hi, ______! This is what we got you last year, lets
start your 2016 return!"Under
this section is a hyperlink that says, "see other products". You'll
want to choose this. If you start for free, and have information pulled
in from last year, you'll be upgraded to our PLUS Benefits program. You
can avoid this by letting it run its course and clicking continue once
everything is in. After you click continue you'll want to select that
you do not want to include this and you'd like to Start For Free. If you're needing our Deluxe, Premier, or or Self- Employed Editions, you can choose to start with it in this section as well.If
you are not able to Clear & Start Over, you can abandon the return
you're already in and go to our Freedom Edition. You only have to
qualify for one of the prerequisites to use the program.https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301359
NOTE:
If
you DO NOT want to re-transfer last year's data after clearing your
return, pay special attention to the 'pop-up' window "Are you sure you
want to clear your return?"
There is a subtle option just above the blue "Yes" & "No" buttons.MAKE SURE the box is UNCHECKED. (The default is 'checked' to re-transfer your data)If the 'pop-up' window does not appear then try this work-around:* Go to My Account* Tools* Transfer last year's TurboTax return from your computer (Note it does say "from your computer")* Continue* Continue without TransferringContact Us : https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300041
