A friend of mine paid me $900 to edit her book last summer. Do I have to claim this as income?

Yes, it is self-employment income. You have to enter it as business income in TurboTax. To enter business income without a Form 1099-MISC you will have to either upgrade to TurboTax Self-Employed or use the CD or download TurboTax software.
