1099-MISC: I don't have an EIN or SSN to enter for my "payer." There are multiple payers and I don't have their SSNs. What do I do now?

I didn't get any 1099 MISC forms but TurboTax is making me fill this out as if I did.  This side income is equivalent to babysitting.  How do I skip this EIN/SSN step and just enter my income.

I would just enter it as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income.  You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K.  Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash.  Only the total goes to schedule C.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.

Entering income on desktop and online for your business vary a little. In the online version, you will see cash under Other Self Employment Income. On the desktop, it is under General Income.
