What version of turbo tax do I need if I was a w-2 employee but now am a contractor and my wife is a w-2 employee for a different company

If you mean "contractor" as in "independent contractor with your own business:

If you are not incorporated with an EIN and plan to use your personal social security number, then you can use:

TurboTax Self-Employed if you want to do your taxes online or TurboTax Home and Business if you prefer a software version for your computer.

If you mean "contractor" as in you get a 1099 and don't have your own business with expenses, then you can add multiple W2s and 1099's on the income section of any  TurboTax product. 

These links give you information on how to compare the various products.
