All TurboTax products allow you to report self-employment income. The T2125 - Business and Professional, T2121 - Fishing Income and Expenses and T2042 - Farming self-employment forms are available in all products.

You can enter your information directly in the forms or you can complete the EasyStep interview and let the software enter the information in the forms for you. With Standard, or Premier, you can still enter self-employment income and expenses. However, there is no step-by-step business interview or additional help to guide you through the self-employment section of the tax return.

TurboTax Home & Business is designed for self-employed Canadians. It can also be used if only one spouse is self-employed. The other spouse can declare their income in the same way they normally do.

• an enhanced business interview that offers step-by-step instructions to help you complete the self-employment business forms

In addition to these features, you can enter investments and rental property income. TurboTax Home & Business:
