Yes, you need to report it as it's taxable.

Under the wages and income tab select "Explore On My Own", and
at the bottom under "Less Common Income" select Miscellaneous Income, then
select Reportable Income, then
Select "Yes" and, in the next screen, describe the income.

I have a similar scenario but the company is not giving me any kind of 1099 document or anything against that. What should be done in such a case?

Still have questions?
