I am a sole proprietor of my own land surveying side business. I used Turbo Tax Self Employed for 3 years and paid the 12$ a month for the service because it’s supposed to import everything over into Turbo Tax when I file my tax returns. I had to call support every year because some thing would always get messed up on the import into Turbo Tax.
Last year when I called support, I talked to an accountant that advised me to simply track mileage, income and expenses by category and just manually enter the data into Turbo Tax at tax time. I built a spreadsheet with different tabs to track everything such as expenses, mileage and income and we will see how that goes this year. I found that I prefer the spreadsheet to the Self Employed software for data entry. I have saved my spreadsheet on my Microsoft One Drive account and can access it from my desktop, laptop, iPad or iPhone at any time. Self Employed just seemed clunky at times and was a hassle.
