Frequently asked questions
Does Premier desktop handle self-employment?＋
You can enter light 1099 income, but for real business income and expenses (Schedule C) the Home & Business desktop edition is the right choice.
Is desktop Premier the same as online Premium?＋
Not exactly. Desktop Premier covers investments and rental, while online Premium also folds in full self-employment. The lineups are named differently.
