I'm self-employed, my wife is not. We want to file a joint return. Which product suits our needs?

We've always had our taxes prepared by an accountant.  This is my first time doing it by myself.  I don't know which forms to use since I'm self-employed but my wife is not. I want to make sure I can claim all my business expenses.

Thank you

The best product would be Self Employed version. This will allow you to file all your needs and expenses related to your business, as well as your wife's who is not self employed.

You will need TurboTax Self-Employed version to record income/expenses for your business. This is the most comprehensive program and will support most other tax concerns.
