To enter expenses for
self-employment, you have to upgrade to TurboTax Self-Employed if you are using
TurboTax Online. Deluxe will only handle the income side of
self-employment and not the expenses.
You can manually enter your
expenses, but only using the desktop versions of the software. It is not
possible in the Online versions. The desktop versions have ''Forms
Mode'', which allow you enter expenses without going through an interview.
I have included instructions if you would like to switch to the desktop
version.

What is Forms Mode
If you want to enter expenses
and don't want to upgrade or switch to desktop, you can look into the Freedom
Edition, links provided below. This edition is free for some users and will
handle both the income and expenses of a Schedule C.
