Using the Deluxe desktop edition -
The Deluxe desktop edition has the same sections as the Premier edition which is what I am using.
Are you saying the Deluxe edition does not have a Business Items section under Wages and Income?
Or are you seeing the program recommending you upgrade to Home and Business edition? If that is what you are seeing, then that is only a recommendation and Not a requirement. Just continue using the Deluxe edition.
Please confirm you are using the Desktop Deluxe program and not the Online web based version.
There is a Business Items section under Wages & Income. I click on Business Income & Expenses (Sch C). There is no place to update my business profile to indicate that I sold the business on 10/4/17.
