If I have income from rewards sites like Swagbucks, but didn't get a 1099-MISC even though I earned $1,000 do I need file it and if so under what specific category?

[turned_to_powere]

I was unemployed last year and don't have a W-2. If I need to file this would I do so under, Less Common Income, Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099? Other reportable income? or something different?

To enter/edit rewards money (not on a 1099-MISC):

1. Open your return (or continue if open).

2. Click on “Take me to my return” button.

3. Click on Federal tab (left-hand side of screen).

4. Click in Wages and Income (near top of screen)

5. Scroll down to Less Common Income.

6. Click on Start next to Miscellaneous Income.

7. Click on Other reportable income (all the way at the bottom as you scroll down); Click “Yes”.

8. Enter “Description” and “Amount”.
