If you are a single member LLC, you are generally a disregarded entity, and will simply file as self-employed on a Schedule C on your personal 1040 unless you selected to be treated differently which is not as common. 

If there are multiple members in the LLC you will need to use TurboTax Business to file a 1065 which will produce Schedule K-1's for each member.  You will not file a schedule C if you have a multi-member LLC.
