I drove for Lyft for a few months at the end of 2017. I made less than 250.00 if that. Do I need to file a form? Lyft website mention that I do not receive a 1099

Yes, you have to report all income unless specifically exempt. The fact that you made too little for them to be required to send you a 1099-Misc, doesn't mean it's too little to have to file. You will need the Self-Employed Edition.

  • Click on Federal Taxes on the top row of TurboTax Self Employed Online.
  • Click Wages & Income
  • Under All Income, click Show all income
  • Scroll to Self-Employment, click Start
  • Click Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  • Enter any income from sales or services that weren't reported on Forms 1099-MISC
