W-2 employee but I also provide some consultancy for 1000$ per year aside. Which version should I buy to be able to declare this extra? No more incomes.

I feel it is absurd to pay  100$ only to add this little detail.

Do you have any expenses?   You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version.  Or use any of the Desktop programs.   All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

Any of the downloaded programs will work ... Deluxe if you have a state return to do or Basic if you don't ...

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

I don't have any expenses to declare. Can I use the standard version to declare my self-employed income? Thanks for your help.

[AmyC]

Deluxe will do a sch C for you.

[silviosangineto]

What if the company will give me a form 1099? Does still work?

[AmyC]

Deluxe will handle income. If you have expenses, you must move up to the Self Employed version. See here for a comparison by forms. Scroll down a little.

Yes a 1099NEC is self employment income.   You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version. Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.
