That sucks. I cant afford to pay the 119 fee right now. Ugh
If it were available, there is also an additional $39.99 service fee if one could even use that "pay out of refund" option (44.99 for California filers.) So you save money if you pay with a credit card, debit card, or a prepaid debit card you can buy in a store.
But you also may have a free option:
Is your AGI $73,000 or less? If so, you could use one of the several free providers offered through the IRS Free File site. The products there allow for filing the Form 1040 with all forms/schedules including Schedule C (you appear to be using Self-Employed Edition here.)
Here's the info:

Be sure to go to each provider through the link at the IRS website to view each one's particular offer.
NOTE: Some providers have a different AGI limit (i.e., some have a limit that is less than $73,000) so evaluate each one carefully.
Read each provider's features carefully. They all prepare a free Federal return. Some of the providers also prepare free state returns. Some prepare free state returns for just certain states.
