Solved

I started a business 1/1/18 and need TurboTax/Quickbooks self-employed for use during 2018. Can I use this to file 2017 taxes even though not self-employed then?

TurboTax Free Edition Online

If you are allowed to get the free SE version to use for the 2017 return when you sign up with the QB SE program then go ahead & use it ... it is more program than you need but that won't hurt anything. It's like renting a Chevy but getting a Cadillac instead ... both vehicles will get you where you need to go.

I would need the deluxe version for 2017 filing, just trying to avoid purchasing both softwares if I can. Since I will have self employment income in 2018, I need this software version to submit quarterly taxes and need quickbooks to manage my business expenses. However it says quickbooks only comes free if you use the self-employed software to submit 2017 taxes by 4/17/18. Hence, this is why I want to purchase the self employed to use TurboTax/Quickbooks self-employed throughout 2018, and use it to submit my 2017 tax return. Just wondering if I can do this since I won’t have any self-employed income to report for 2017.
