TurboTax is correct. If you're an Independent Contractor the IRS says you're the owner of your business. 

You may not think of yourself as running a business, but you’re considered self-employed if you engage in business-like activities. In TurboTax:

• Enter your Name as the business name,
• Enter your address as the Business Address and,
• Click on NO when asked if you have an Employer Identification Number.

You are self-employed if you’re an individual who:

• is the sole proprietor of an unincorporated business
• works as an independent contractor, consultant or freelancer
• is a member of a business partnership
• owns or is part of a limited liability company (LLC)
• earns income through investments
• earns income through rental property.
