My husband has an S corp and I have W-2 income. We want to file jointly. What version of TurboTax should we use? Previously I filed separately and used Premier online.

My husband has previously used the desktop business version. If I have to use this version, is there a way to transfer all the info from the online version to the desktop version?

The desktop Business version will not prepare your personal tax return, but the desktop Home and Business version will.

Unless you have another business or 1099-MISC income, Premier is a suitable version for your joint tax return. The features of Self-Employed or Home and Business may not be needed, as the SCorp business is not reporting its income and expenses again on your 1040- you only need to enter his K1 and W2.

You can move data to a desktop product by saving the online data file:

• My Account
• Tools
• Save your 2016 return to your computer

If you purchase a downloaded version for your personal return, you can open the file created online through this.
