I am self employed and received $15k of payments through PayPal. The expenses out of that were $12k. Do I count the net income or make deductions? If deduct, how?

No, you will enter the gross income amount ($15000) in the income section, and then list each expense separately. These expenses are reported in the Self Employment section of TurboTax.  

Using TurboTax Self-Employed, click the Federal Taxes tab (at the top)

• Scroll down to the Self-Employment section
  
• Click Start next to Income and Expenses
• Proceed through the interview to enter your income and expenses
