which turbo tax should I use

[RB189-Ls]

I am a licensed contractor but I don't have any business income for 2024. I worked as a W2 employee in 2024.

I have used turbo tax home and business for the past 4 years.  I have been able to get a good deduction for mileage on my truck each year. Which turbo tax should use this year and can I still get the mileage deduction ?

Since you worked as a W-2 employee in 2024 and have no business income, you can likely use TurboTax Deluxe or TurboTax Premium instead of TurboTax Home & Business. These versions are suitable for filing your W-2 income and other multiple deductions. When you start your return TurboTax will guide you and let you know if you need to update

• Regarding the mileage deduction, as a W-2 employee, you generally cannot deduct mileage for commuting or job-related travel due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, which suspended this deduction for tax years 2018 through 2025
• However, if you have unreimbursed business expenses that are not related to commuting, you might still be able to deduct them if you itemize your deductions and they exceed 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)

Actually you can use any Desktop Download program.  All the Desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more guidance in the higher versions.  And it is still called Premier in the Desktop program.  The Online version has combined Premier and the Self Employed version into new Premium.
