Do I have to upgrade for self-employment income this year? Did not have to in previous years, and really prefer the simple form in standard version.

Just want to know if I can just keep the standard version still, with the one-page T2125, and not have to upgrade only to have to answer tedious multiple pages to produce the same form... Thank you!

If you want to use TurboTax Standard CD/Download to enter your self-employment information, then you can. It still has everything that was in the program last year.

If you want to use TurboTax Deluxe Online (formerly Standard) for 2021, you will not be able to enter self-employment income/expenses. You would need to upgrade to TurboTax Self-Employed Online, which has the extra pages for the T2125 section. Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information: Why did I have to upgrade my TurboTax Online edition?

So helpful! Thank you!

I purchased the deluxe online edition and then was informed I needed Premier. Now I am paying for both!! It won't deduct the cost I already paid with deluxe

so now for reporting 500 self-employment, I have to pay more than $100! Ridiculous! Another company is free.

I had used Turbo Tax forever.  

In 2022 I filed with "Wealthsimple Tax" and liked it.  Easy to navigate.  And it is free.  

Checked calculations with Turbo Tax and got the same answer.
