Which TurboTax do I need?

I'm a "regular" employee with a W2, and my wife has a small business and is filing self employed.  If we want to file jointly which TurboTax product will allow us to do both?

Which TurboTax do I need?

Using the TurboTax online editions you would need the Self-Employed edition.

Using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions then any of the desktop editions can be used.

Which TurboTax do I need?

You need online Self-Employed OR any version of the CD/download.  Your self-employed spouse has to prepare a Schedule C for business expenses, which can only be done using online Self-Employed or by using the CD/download --- if you use the CD/download every version has all the forms and schedules needed.

For preparing your return online, you need TurboTax Self-Employed.

 

You can use any desktop (installed on a computer) version of TurboTax.

Thank you!  If we do the online/Self Employed option does it allow for joint filing where one spouse isn't self employed?
