You can use the Premier edition or the Self-Employed (called Home and Business in desktop versions) to file wages and self-employment income and expenses.  Self-Employed has everything Premier does but also has these additional features not available in Premier:

 - Maximizes business deductions for vehicle, phone, supplies, home office and more (Schedule C)
 - Find business expenses you may not know about and keep more of the money you earn
 - Effortless expense and mileage tracking, year round from QuickBooks Self-Employed

The Deluxe version will only allow you to enter self-employment income, so it is not a good choice if you have business expenses that you want to deduct.
