How do I file taxes for Twitch income?

I was technically a hobby streamer and earned less than $600 from Twitch streaming in 2021 (official payout numbers). If random donations are included, then the amount hovers around $1000. Twitch's website states even if I'm under the $600 threshold, I have to report my income to the IRS. On Amazon Tax Center, there are no available forms for me to download and update. What form should I be using to file my taxes?

Amazon will send you a 1099-NEC.  You can claim that on TurboTax using the Other Taxable income option.  You did the streaming in 2021 so will receive the 1099-NEC next January.
