Did you set it up as a LLC or S corp or partnership, etc.? If you are self employed, independent contractor, freelance, sole proprietor you file it in your personal retun on Schedule C .

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version.
