I earned money through an NSF REU for research at college. I never received a W2 or anything like that. How do I report this money on my taxes?

You will need to report the money under Other Income.  In order to enter the information, you will need to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe online program to complete the filing.  From TurboTax Free Edition online version, here are the steps in TurboTax :

1.  After sign into your account, select orange button Take me to my return

2.  Top right corner / in the search box- type in " other reportable income" and Enter  ( follow prompts to upgrade)

3.  On screen, "Other Wages Received", answer Yes / continue to follow prompts

4. On screen, "Any Other Earned Income", answer Yes 

5.  On screen, "Enter Source of Other Earned Income". answer Other

6.  On screen, "Any Other Earned Income", enter description and amount.
