Assuming you are not an employee and receive a 1099-Misc for the income you earned, you would enter this information as follows:

  1. Select the Federal section in the left panel
  2. Select "Income & Expenses"
  3. Select "Self Employment income & expenses"
  4. Add your information in this section.  

You will report all of your income and expenses in this area of the return for your freelance business.  I have attached additional information to help you determine which items are deductible expenses.
