Since you were a subcontractor for part of the year, you should use TurboTax Deluxe or TurboTax Self-Employed. If you want to deduct expenses for your contractor work, then you will need the self-employed software. You will report this income on Schedule C. Please follow the directions in the TurboTax FAQ below to enter your business income and expenses.
