Cannot remember the amount of income(probably around $40) I received from participating in research

I have participated in 3-4 studies/researches and received around $10-15 for each one in the past year. But I cannot remember the exact amount of income I had. What can I do?

Thank you for your advice.

You can estimate your income from the research studies.  Maybe checking your bank account to look for deposits made will help.

If the research company did not issue a 1099 you could just not claim the income. I would just estimate the income.

You can enter the income on Schedule 1 Form 1040 Line 8 as other income.  The research company does not have to issue Form 1099-MISC for amounts less than $600.
