My husband works full time. I work as a part-time lecturer and also have a small at-home side-business selling my art. Do I need to use Turbo Tax's Self-Employed option to file taxes or can I just use the regular version since we both work regular jobs?

With Turbotax Online, Deluxe or Premier can prepare a Schedule C but you can only report income, you cannot deduct any expenses.  In order to deduct expenses from your income you will have to use the TurboTax Self-Employed version. 

With Turbotax Desktop, Deluxe or any other version can prepare a Schedule C.  Home & Business is the most expensive version, but is set up to make finding the business entries easier, but a Schedule C with expenses can be made in the Deluxe Desktop version.
