medical trial income on free version

How do I enter medical trial income of only $200 since I didn't receive any forms from anyone, because it's a small amount?  TT does not seem to have this option on the free version. 

 

When I try to enter this data as other income, whether I click that I received a form or not, it tells me I have no option but to upgrade to the paid version in order to report any amount.  Same happens when I try to reclassify it (inaccurately) as hobby income.  If anyone on the free version is reimbursed for a medical trial, or a hobby for $50, for example, at any point during the year, they must "upgrade" at a price higher than what they earned.   If a person is sick and participating in research, it would be really helpful to be able to file with the free version.  I recommend making it possible to report medical trial income of small quantities using the free version.
