Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Company sent me a 1099-misc, but as part of the transaction I then paid 95% to a third person (I was a broker liaison basically)? Do I report 5% I kept, or whole amount?

Enter the 1099-MISC exactly as printed. Then enter your "expenses" against that income.

Thanks that makes sense.  If there a way to report this as an expense without upgrading to turbotax self-employed (for $115)?  There doesn't seem to be.

Nope. With the online version, you have to use the SE version to claim even one penny of expenses against business income.
