Hello,

About 5 years ago, I worked exclusively as a contractor for 3 years and used the TurboTax Self-Employed version to file taxes and continued to do so last year. In 2021, I went back to working on a permanent full time basis. I still have the sole proprietorship, but have not earned any income in the past few years. Also, my wife works part-time and earns relatively low income. Our son is now 19 years old and is also earning income from a part-time, minimum wage job.

I'd like to know which TurboTax version would best suit my current situation. While I previously filed my wife's taxes together with mine using TurboTax Self-Employed, I wonder if it would now make more sense to file hers (along with our son's) separately with the TurboTax Free version, because both their taxes are very simple and straightforward. Then for myself, continue to use Self Employed or Deluxe, if the latter has basic self-employed sections to fill out and donations, medical expenses, and employment expenses to claim. Or is it best to use Self Employed or Deluxe for all three of us.

Appreciate any insights or suggestions anyone may have.

Thank you.
