If you have self-employment income and a variety of expenses to report you will need TurboTax Self-Employed version. If your small businesses are reporting income only, then TurboTax Deluxe will complete a simple Schedule C/C-EZ
TurboTax does not sell products for the 2013 tax year, but you can access the forms from the IRS in the link below.

Thanks PaulaM. My businesses are LLCs with lots of expenses/ depreciations etc, and have been filed by CPAs in previous years. They look completely overwhelming but I can't afford a CPA since both companies are in serious financial decline. Is it better to start with the 2014 version of TurboTax and download the rest of the forms or should I get the 2017 version and download the rest of the forms or... do I need to purchase all 5 years of TurboTax? That will be very expensive.
Are they single member LLC's? If not, then your would need TurboTax's Business software and that is the most expensive product.
If a local CPA/tax preparer, or the TurboTax produc purchases, is not a possibility for you, you may need to use the IRS forms/publications and file them on your own. You can get prior year forms/instructions in link below (enter the form number then search).

You might also contact your local IRS office and see if there are free local services available.
They are single member. With that in mind, do I need to buy 5 years of TurboTax, or can I get away with just 2017 and do the rest manually? My struggle is what order to do them in? Do I start with 2013 or do I start with 2017? Thanks so much for your help on this!
You will need all 4 years of TurboTax. Start with the 2013 return from the IRS.
