Deductions & credits

I'm not sure what you want me to check.

I believe that you can report 1099-MISC box 7 self-employment income in TurboTax Online Premier if you have no expenses at all. But most companies will include everything that they paid you while you were self-employed, including the expense reimbursements, in the 1099-MISC. If they do that, you should definitely use TurboTax Self-Employed. With $851 of expenses, the amount of tax you save by deducting the expenses will be many times more than the additional cost of Self-Employed.

If you use the CD or download TurboTax software you could use any edition if you are comfortable entering your self-employment income and expenses without the extra guidance that you would get with TurboTax Home & Business or the Online TurboTax Self-Employed.
