The W9 is the form you gave the person/company that pays you. It is just to give them your ssn or ein if you have one. At the end of the year if they paid you $600 or more they will give you a 1099Misc. So you are a W2 employee and a 1099 self employed. Here is some info for you.
You will need to use the Online Home & Business version to report 1099Misc income. If you buy the Desktop program you can use a lower version but you will get more help in the higher versions.
You might get a 1099Misc for the income but if you don't you still need to report it. You need to keep good records and report all your income, even if you don't get a 1099Misc. You fill out a Schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return and pay Self Employment Tax in addition to regular income tax on it.

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p535.pdf Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) is generated if a person has $400 or more of net profit from self-employment on Schedule C. You pay 15.3% for SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400. The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare. So you get social security credit for it when you retire. You do get to take off the 50% ER portion of the SE tax as an adjustment on line 27 of the 1040. The SE tax is already included in your tax due or reduced your refund. It is on the 1040 line 57. The SE tax is in addition to your regular income tax on the net profit.
There is also QuickBooks Self Employment bundle you can check out which includes one Turbo Tax Home & Business return....

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040es.pdf The 1040ES quarterly estimates for 2016 are due April 18, June 15, Sept 15 and Jan 15, 2017. Your state will also have their own estimate forms. You mail in the estimates with a check or you can do it electronically at the IRS and maybe your state.
If you didn't owe or missed making the prior quarterly estimated payments and need to just calculate starting now, you can go though the Estimated Taxes section and just put $1 (one dollar) in for the quarters you missed. Then it will only figure the current and remaining quarters.
