If you did not pay this person as part of your trade or business, you do not need to issue a 1099. 

 

If you are not a registered business, but are self-employed, you would still need to file Schedule C and use TurboTax Home and Business or TurboTax Self-Employed to fill out the Schedule C and 1099.  As you walk through the income and expense section of these programs you will see a question asking if you paid someone more than $600 and need to issue a 1099.  Click yes and TurboTax will walk you through it.
