Follow the steps listed in the link below to get to the business expense entry section of TurboTax.

Then, when you get to the screen asking "what kind of expenses did you have for your [business name]?" scroll down to the section called "Contract Labor."  (Note, if you do not see Contract Labor listed when you are scrolling down, be sure to expand "Less Common Expenses" and continue to scroll until you see Contract Labor).  See screenshot attached.  Then select Continue.  You will then be brought to a screen where you can enter the contract labor amounts.  See sample screenshot attached.

In order to enter my few expenses incurrded as a contractor,  must I upgrade to the self-emloyed version of Turbo Tax?  I do  very little contract work
