My spouse has small income for babysitting with no deductions. Can I complete her taxes with basic Live Assist and Review Premier or do I need to use the Self-Employed?

Income is $3,600

When you have employment income that's more than $3,500, you need to pay CPP contributions on that income. So, your wife must enter her baby-sitting income as self-employment income. For that she will need to use the Self-Employed version of Live Assist and Review.
