The TurboTax Free edition does not support self-employment income.  You will have to upgrade to the Deluxe.  

Here are the steps:

1. Make sure you’re signed into TurboTax, and you are in your return.
2. Select Upgrade in the menu on the left side of the screen.
3. Select the version you'd like to upgrade to.
4. We'll prompt you to pay if you want to print or e-file your taxes. You can also prepay at any time.
5. Select File in the left menu. (You will not file your taxes, it will take you to the payment section.)
6. Select Start or Revisit next to Review your order.
7. You’ll see a summary of your order. Select View payment options.
8. Continue until you see How would you like to pay for TurboTax? On that screen, select Pay with your credit card.
9. Enter your credit card information and select Pay Now.

Once you’ve paid, you can begin entering your Form 1099-MISC information.
