You don't need to file a 1099 for receiving income. You file a 1099 for paying, for example, subcontractors when you are a business.
You must report the $3500 as income on your Schedule C (if you are self-employed). Whether you receive a 1099 or not (or any other information form) has no bearing on whether you must report the income. You must report all worldwide income unless there is a specific exclusion.
In the business/self-employed/independent contractor TT interview it will ask you if you have any income not reported to you on a 1099-MISC. Just say yes and tell TT the amount, answering any follow up questions.
If you need help finding that section, please ask.
