You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version.  Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.

The income that you make from Door Dash is reported on Schedule C of your 1040. The IRS considers self-employment income as a business, so you will also be able to deduct common business expenses from your income. To enter your business and self-employment income, follow the steps below:

 

1. Open TurboTax
2. Select Wages & Income
3. Select Self-Employment Income and Expenses
4. TurboTax will guide you through the interview screens to help you enter your income and expenses.

In addition to the resources that the previous responders gave, refer to the TurboTax articles Filing Taxes for On-Demand Food Delivery Drivers,  What self-employed expenses can I deduct?  and Filing Tax Returns for Delivery Drivers: Tips and Advice for more information.

This income will be reported on Schedule C which is part of your overall tax return. This also means you will be subject to Self-Employment (SE) Tax.  If you did not pay SE Taxes in 2024, and if you plan to do this again in 2025, it may be a good idea to make  quarterly estimated payments to cover your SE taxes of 15.3% and avoid penalties.
