If you received a 1099 NEC or MISC you can take deductions travel, food and lodging. You will have to use either TurboTax Online Self-Employed or Desktop Home & Business.

In the Online version you can post it in this section.

In TurboTax Self-Employed you will post this under:

Income & Expenses
Self-Employment Income & Expenses
If you've already started entering the business you will select REVIEW
Select Add income for this work
Under Common Income
Select Form 1099-NEC

For additional information please see About FORM 1099-NEC How to File Taxes with IRS Form 1099-NEC
