If you have
"Non-employee compensation" (Box 7 of a 1099-MISC), according to the
IRS it is considered income from self-employment. You are considered to have a
self-employed "business" and you are the "owner".
TurboTax will help you report it as Business Income on a Schedule C or
C-EZ.
To enter your home
office, vehicle mileage, supplies and other common business expenses:
- Type “Schedule C” in the Search box.
- Select the “Jump to” link.
- Select Add expenses

Remember to enter 1099-MISC,
1099-K,
cash, and personal check income from your self-employment before you associate
any expenses with your business.
