How do I claim winnings from a tv show if I never received the proper paperwork?

I won the tv show chopped and was awarded 10,000 dollars. I never received a 1099 from them, so do I have to claim it and if so how do I file that?

You need to report this income as Other Reportable Income, even if you did not receive a tax form.

In TurboTax, open your return and follow these steps:

Click on Federal Taxes, then on Wages and Income
Under All Income, locate the Less Common Income section
Click Show more and click Start next to Miscellaneous Income at the bottom
On the next page, click Start next to Other Reportable Income (see attached screenshot).
