You will report your income as self-employed income on a Schedule C.

To report self-employed income without a 1099-MISC:

  1. Open your return in TurboTax.
  2. Click on “Take me to my return” if applicable.
  3. Search for "self employed income" in Search box.
  4. Click on "Jump to self employed income" link.
  5. Answer/follow the screen interview prompts.
