I worked for Uber from July thru Dec.2018 but Uber told me I didn't earn enough to receive a 1099k or a 1099-MISC what do I do?

Uber does not have to give you a 1099 MISC if you made under $600.  

However if you made $400 doing Uber driving then you have to report it.   See below:

Per IRS Publication 554:

You usually must pay self-employment tax if you had net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more. Generally, the amount subject to self-employment tax is 92.35% of your net earnings from self-employment. You calculate net earnings by subtracting ordinary and necessary trade or business expenses from the gross income you derived from your trade or business. would need to report
