It would have been better if you had added a reply to your original question instead of posting a separate new question. That way you keep all of the discussion of your question in one place. When information is scattered in multiple threads it's confusing and hard to follow, and hard to see the whole picture.
The two answers to your first post are consistent. I told you to report the payment on your 2024 tax return. @Hal_Al gave you detailed steps for reporting it on your 2024 tax return, without a 1099 form.
Income that you receive in 2024 does not change your 2023 tax return. You report income that you received in 2024 on your 2024 tax return. You do not amend your 2023 tax return because of income that you received in 2024, even though the 2024 income is related to a 2023 transaction.
