I worked for my mom's small business 2017 and she never issued me a W2 or 1099 and doesn't know how to. I made over $600. How in TurboTax do I report the income?

This is the first year (2017) that I have worked for my mom's small business the whole year.  I made over $600.00 for the year. She doesn't know how to issue a W2 or 1099 form and said that I could probably make my own.   No taxes were taken out of any of my checks but I kept a thorough log of payments, so I was just going to add the total to my income, but I can't find where to put that in TurboTax.   Is there a way I can report my income? How do I do so in TurboTax?

If you were paid by your mom's business without a W-2 or any withholding, you have to report the income as self-employment income.

This is how to report it (with or without 1099-MISC):

Your mom is required to issue you a form 1099-MISc and file it with the IRS by January 31, 2018. It is late now but she can still file it as penalties increase with the passage of time.
To prepare and file forms 1099-MISC she can use Turbotax Self-Employment.

Here are the instructions:

To prepare forms W-2 and 1099-MISC with TurboTax Self-Employed, follow these steps:

• Sign out of your account and sign in again. On the landing page, click on Prepare W2s and 1099s (see attached screenshot).
• You will be taken to the TurboTax Quick Employer Forms (QEF) website.
