no 1099 provided for income

[DocYock]

I made $270 from an online business but did not receive a 1099 form because it is less than $600.  Where do I input this income?  Do I need to file a Form SS-8?

It depends on why you received the $270 income.  

If you received the income because you performed a service for the online business, then it should be reported on Schedule C Business Income and Expenses for your self-employed business for the work that you did.  Enter the income as part of the Schedule C in the general income category that would include cash payments.  If you had received a 1099, then it would be entered in the section for the form you had in hand.

If you received the income because of a hobby, then it would be reported on Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 8J.  Use these steps:

1. Go to the Wages & Income section of your return.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find Less Common Income, click Start or Update beside Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
3. Click Start or Update beside Hobby Income and Expenses to enter your information.

Form SS-8 is used to request a determination of the status of a worker for a business.  If you feel that the business who paid you should have treated you as an employee and not an independent contractor, then you could file Form SS-8.  There is not a requirement that you file Form SS-8.
