It will be part of your income on your self employment activity. Next you will enter the tips using the information below to receive a reduction to your overall income (not directly against your self employment income). The Tips deduction question applies to both TurboTax Desktop and TurboTax Online.

When you are entering your income for self employment, TurboTax will ask if any of that income will includes tips. The tips may or may not be included in a Form 1099-K, 1099-MISC, or 1099-NEC.  You have to keep logs that show the date, the customer, and tip received.
