1)did not receive a 1099 – NEC because I made less than $600
2)unable to connect my checking account to TurboTax to automatically calculate for me
3)I kept no records of my expenses and unable to reference my 1099-NEC for info because again, I did not receive one.

You don't need a 1099-nec to report self-employment income - How do I report income from self-employment? You can use the cash/check entry to report self-employment income that you did not get a tax form for.
What self-employed expenses can I deduct?
You can deduct expenses that are related to the self-employment income you report on Schedule C.
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.
