Online Premium is not free to use---it is a paid version of the online software. If you have self-employment income then that is the online version you need in order to prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses. Or you could use any version of the CD/download software on a full PC or Mac if you have a computer that supports that desktop software; every version of desktop software has all of the forms and schedules.
