Hi, I finished going through all the tax return preparation, but my return is only $6 and I cannot afford to pay the the turbo tax filing fees out of pocket.

If you qualify based on income and if you do not mind starting over, there is a free version of TT on which yu can enter self-employment income:

You cannot enter a 1099Misc when you are using the Free Edition.  If you qualify, there is another free software program available from TurboTax which will allow you to enter self-employment income reported on a 1099Misc.

You qualify if your income was $33,000 or less, or $64,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit

Try the Freedom Edition:
