Preview your tax return and see if you have self-employment income reported.   It would be on Schedule C and the amount will show up on Schedule 1, Line 3.   You may need to delete some forms.

Preview Form 1040 in TurboTax Online.   When you preview your return, TurboTax shows Form 1040 and Schedules 1 - 3 below Form 1040.  

 

Use Forms Mode if you are using the desktop software.
