If you were issued a W-2 instead of a 1099-MISC, if the "statutory employee" box on that W-2 is checked, then it's self-employment income. If it's not checked, then its not self-employment income and you will need to have the issuer issue you a corrected W-2 with that box checked. Without that box checked on the W-2, you flat out do not qualify to claim "any" work related expenses at all.
With the "statutory employee" box checked, you'll still enter the W-2 in the W-2 entry section of the program. But the program will transfer it to SCH C where you can claim your HO.
