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?
