Self Employed taxes

Tanya761 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:28:35 GMT

Last year I started doing work on Amazon Mechanical Turk as well as on Connect Cloud Research. I did not receive any forms from either place and I made a little under $400 at each place. I have no idea how to progress as I don't really have a way to get in touch with them per se. How should I proceed?

Since this is work as an independent contractor, you are considered self-employed. You can enter your income using your records, without a form. To enter your self-employment income click the following:

Federal
Income and Expenses
Show More next to Self-Employment
Start or Revisit next to Self-Employment
Yes, to you have any self-employment income or expenses
Enter the type of self-employment work you do
Click through a few more screens and you will get to a screen that says "Your XX info"
Click Looks good
Then you will come to a screen that says Let's enter the income for your business. It will give you the option of 1099-NEC or Other self-employed income including the 1099K , cash and checks. Select the one that applies to you and hit continue
If you do not select one, it will not let you enter your income
Enter your self-employment income on the next screen
