If you entered income from a 1099-NEC you are actually self-employed.  Also, if you entered income from a 1099-MISC that you requested to deduct expenses from, TurboTax will also consider you self-employed.

 

@VolvoGirl is correct as well if you did not enter either of these 1099 forms into your return.
