The IRS considers undocumented cash income (no W-2 or 1099-MISC), for work performed, to be self employment income. Enter at "Business Income & Expenses" and TurboTax (TT) will complete Schedule C or C-EZ for you and allow you to deduct any expenses associated with this income. You'll also have to pay self employment tax (social security) on any profits greater than $400. You report the income from your own records.
You may have to upgrade to
the Self Employment version of TT. If you have no expenses to deduct, There's a chance you may be able to use TT
Deluxe or Premier.
On your 2017 tax return, you report only your income and expenses for 2017. If you have unreported income fro 2016, you file an amended 2016 return to report that income. If you did not file a 2016 return, then you can file a new return (instead of an amended one) now.

Also, have you been keeping written records of all your business income and expenses? If not, then do you have bank records or credit card statements to prove your expenses for the business?
We can probably help you out getting started here once you've provided a bit more details. But in the end if you start to get uncomfortable you may find it will put your mind more at ease if you utilize the services of a local CPA or tax attorney. But hey, it doesn't hurt to at least try.

Did you file a 2015 or 2016 return and need to add this income to them? Or do you need to still file an original return?

For the 2015 tax return, you will need to purchase, download and install the desktop version of TurboTax 2015. You can buy it at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/">https://turbotax.intuit.com/persona...> and MAKE SURE you are under the correct tab for the 2015 tax year. Otherwise, if you buy the program for the wrong year, you own it.
When purchasing the program, you indicated you have business income "and" expenses. Also, since you've never done this before you should buy the "Home & Business" version. Yes, it's the most expensive one. While you can do a SCH C with the Premier version, the Home & Business version has more "help" in it than the lower version does.
Now understand this: With the desktop version it's no problem to do several "run throughs" and start over. So don't worry about making it perfect the first time. Chances are, you won't.
So purchase, download and install the program. There will be a "TurboTax 2015" icon on your desktop. Fire it up and get started. As I've already stated, you *will* make mistakes the first few times because there will be things you "think" you understand, and don't realize until a few screens later that you "got it wrong". It's called "learning", and you don't learn this stuff through osmosis, but through the "experience" of actually "doing it". I'd say about ninety five percent of what I know about taxes and the TurboTax Program is what not to do..... and I didn't learn it by not doing it either. 🙂
So take your time, remember, there is a "BACK" button on all screens, and by all means if something is not clear to you or if you have questions, then ASK. That's what we're here for. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Get things wrong and that stupid question you didn't ask can have the potential you cost you in the way of deductions you did not take.
