Full time student, worked for three months as a contractor for a tech company, did not receive any 1099. The turbotax income section requires 1099NEC or 1099MISC, and I have neither. How do I enter the income and expense related.

Just enter the total as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to enter each 1099NEC or 1099K. You can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C.
