I started deliveries with UberEats in November 2017, grossed less than $600, so Uber did not provide 1099-Misc...do I need to report that income, if so how?

Yes, you still need to report the income and you can enter your Uber income as self-employed income/expenses for Schedule C without Form 1099 by following the instructions below -

• Log into your account and click Take Me To My Return (you must click this before searching if you are not already in your account)
• Type “Schedule C" in the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass
• Click the "jump to schedule c" link in the search results.
• You will arrive at the Your Business summary page where you can add/edit a business
• If you have not set up your business profile, the program will ask you a series of basic questions to establish your profile 
• Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your business income and expenses
• For entering income, there will be two main sections:  one specifically for income reported on a Form 1099-MISC and one for all other additional income (including cash, checks, or income reported on a Form 1099-K).  There is an additional section for uncommon income, but you will use "all other additional income.”  See screenshot below.
• After entering your income, you can proceed to the expenses section to deduct any business expenses for the Uber Income (such as gas and platform fees)
