I have very few deduction...can you look to see if i would be better using your standard return vs self employed?

[SweetieJean · Accepted solution]

Standard v. itemized  deductions pertains to personal deductions, not self-employed ones

You are required by law to claim all of your self-employment expenses.

Adding to SweetieJean's answer:  If you have 1099-MISC income (or cash/check payments for work you did), you'll need to use the Self-Employed TurboTax program.
