My son is 16 and has his first W-2 and first 1099-B. Did not make much so was wondering if we had to buy the premium package in order to enter the 1099-B?

If you are using TurboTax Online, then yes, you have to use Premium in order to enter the 1099-B. Or you could use any version of the desktop TurboTax software.
