I have a 1099 how do I need to start my taxes? As my own buisness?

Your total income can go under General Business Income.  You must file a Schedule C for any income that you've received from a job. 

Under Business Items, go to Business Income and Expenses to enter money received and money that went to conduct your business. 

If you just have income from your self-employment, then use Deluxe.  If you have expenses, then you're going to use Turbo Tax Self-Employed—it will walk you through updating within the program. 

That translates to a Schedule C being filed, and self-employment tax being figured on your gross income.
