I have paid for Live the last 3 years, and before that, I always filed my personal taxes myself through TT.
I wanted to try filing my small business (sole proprietor LLC) taxes, but if it gets complicated or I think I messed up, I'd like to make sure I can go ahead and upgrade later on.
I know this was an option on personal taxes, just want to confirm it's an option for business taxes as well. Thank you!
Let's start over. You have a Single Member LLC. Is it set up as a S corp and you file a separate 1120-S tax return for it? Or are you filing it on Schedule C in your personal tax return? I read you very first sentence again and it sounds like you used Live to file your personal tax return (including the business on schedule C) for the last 3 years. Is that right? We are not sure what you used before.
If you do file the LLC as schedule C in your personal 1040 return, then you can use the Online Premium version and add Live later or buy the Desktop Home & Business program. I have Home & Business and see a button to add Live tax advice for $60. I don't know if it is on the lower versions too.
If you file the separate 1120-S SMLLC Business return there are 2 ways.
You can buy the stand alone do it yourself Business Download program for Windows here (it is not available to do online or for Mac).

There is also a Business service, LIVE Assisted or LIVE Full Service Business which is separate from the Desktop installed Business program. You can see them here,

I don't know if you can upgrade the Business Download program to the LIVE version or you would need to start over in LIVE.
You can always upgrade to one of the Live editions from the personal online editions before filing the tax return.
Even if I'm not doing personal? I'm doing small business taxes.
Oh... Are you using the TurboTax Business Edition installed on a personal computer for Partnership, S Corp or C Corp tax returns?
Or are you using the TurboTax Home & Business desktop edition?
You post shows the Live Self-Employed Online edition. But that edition has been superseded by the TurboTax Premium Online Edition.
It's just the online, browser version. I'm not sure what it's called, so it might be called that?
I use QuickBooks Self-Employed, and it doesn't really give me a choice when I log in with my ID through TurboTax except to choose personal or business. So whatever the title is for the browser-based business tax program for sole prop LLCs is, that's what I'm using, I guess haha
