Need help with deciding if I should use guide me or explore on my own

I started a side business in late 2017. For my 2018 income tax I thought it would be best if I used TurboTax Home & Business, even though I made less than $100 in 2018. I'm at the point in the TurboTax interview process, where it's asking me, "How do you want to enter your business income?". And I have 2 choices:

  • Guide me
  • I'll explore on my own

My inclination is to use "Guide me", but I'm wondering if I'm going way over board, since I really didn't have much income in 2018?

It will take longer, but for the first time, I would recommend you use the Guide me.  You will avoid having missing answers and information that have to be addressed when you are wrapping up your return.
