You have self-employment income. If you use online TurboTax you need Premium or you could use any version of the CD/download in order to enter self-employment income and prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

Expect to owe some self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, since that has not been withheld from a paycheck like it would if you were employed and receiving a W-2.

If your self-employment income was only from cash, personal checks, credit card payments, or cryptocurrency

Type Schedule C in the Search box and then select the Jump to link. This will take you to where you can enter any cash, personal checks, credit card payments, or cryptocurrency (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment. You may first be asked some general questions about your business. After you answer them, you’ll be taken to the Let's get income for (your line of work) screen where you can enter this income as Additional Income.
