Are you filling out schedule C for self employment income?  You need to use the Online Self Employed version or any desktop program to fill out schedule C and issue a 1099Misc.  

 

To prepare W2s or 1099Misc you need to use the Online Self Employed version or buy the Desktop CD/Download Home & Business program or the separate Turbo Tax Business program.

You need to give a 1099Misc to anyone you paid $600 or more to for the year. But not to corporations or for merchandise. You send the IRS a copy of the 1099Misc with the transmittal summary form 1096. These are due to the person by Jan 31 and to the IRS by Jan 31 also.

 

That is Contract Labor Schedule C line 11. You can just enter the total or list each one. Only the total goes to schedule C. How to enter Contract Labor

Was it paid in connection with your business?    Only businesses issue 1099-MISC in the course of doing business.   Individuals do not issue 1099-MISC forms at all.

DO NOT AMEND the return if you have already included the amount as a deduction and just now need to file the 1099 form ... these are separate things all together.   And the 1099 is very late so expect to get a late filing bill from the IRS.
