I used Acorns investing app and have not received my 1099 yet. only made $10.00. Trying not to wait until I get this info to file my taxes

Do I need to wait. Or is the amount low enough to where it doesn't matter. I have not withdrawn any of the money from the account

If you know the amount, you can file without the 1099 for income this low. 

I would not suggest filing without a W-2 or a 1099 with significant income and details, but it is okay to just include the amount for this income.

I have the same sort of thing happening to me now, how would I go about doing that through turbo tax without a 1099 Form ?

As a new investor, be sure you know what amount is 1099-INT and what amounts would go on 1099-DIV. 

 

To add a 1099-INT: Even if you don't have it. I do recommend seeing if a download is available.

 

  1. click on Federal
  2. click Income & Expenses
  3. scroll to Interest and dividends
  4. click on Show More
  5. click Start for Interest on 1099-INT
  6. Choose I'll Type it in Myself
  7. Enter the payer name
  8. Enter the interest income
  9. Click continue
