Can I file self employed/ independent contractor and jointly with my wife with Turbo Tax self employed? 

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

Yes that's how it works and how you file.  You file a Joint personal return and include Schedule C for self employment.  Did you get any 1099Misc or just cash income?

To fill out Self Employed income and expenses 

• Log into your account and click orange Take me to my return button
• Type schedule c in the Search box in top right corner and hit enter
• Click on jump to schedule c and this should bring you to the Did you have any income and expenses for a business in 2016? screen and you choose Yes there and follow the prompts.

Yes.

Just to be clear on this ... My husband has a W-2 and I will only have a 1099 with schedule C ... The Turbo Tax  Self Employed will work for us to file jointly?

TurboTax Online Self-employed will allow you to file married filing jointly.  You will be able to file a Schedule C reporting as income one or more 1099-NEC's.
