No. You want to keep it linked to your Uber business. Since you didn't receive a 1099-MISC, you can report other income simply by following the instructions below:
1. Sign into your TurboTax account.
2. Click Pick up where I left off (if not already open)
3. Click Federal tab
4. Click Wages & Income subcategory.
5. Select I'll choose what I work on option.
6. Scroll all the way down to the Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C (under less common income) and click Start/Update.
7. Click Start/Update next to Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099 and follow the online screen prompts to enter your income.

Even if the amount is above 2,000? Sorry, should have been specific. It's just under 4,000
I'm surprised. Most people get a Form 1099-MISC in the mail when they make over $600. I'm sure you checked your Uber account already. If you go by those numbers there, even if they do send you a 1099 afterward, your return will be accurate. It's always best to check with Uber first and ask about your 1099s.
I did reach out to see if the 1099 MISC was in the mail. I'm clearly confused - this is new to me!
This was their response:
"Please be informed that the report of 1099-MISC for 2017, which includes referrals, incentive payments, prizes, and awards. It does not include your total earnings for the entire year of 2017.
I've reviewed your payment statements for the year, and it does not appear that your miscellaneous payments qualified for a 1099-MISC form this year. Your miscellaneous payments were under the $600 threshold.
....
However, your Uber generated Tax Summary should provide you with all the information you need to file this year."
OK. Go ahead and used the Tax Summary as we discussed earlier. Good luck!
One more question- just for clarification. Is this not considered self employment since it was for Uber? I don't appear to have a way to link it to Uber.
