Postmates income less than $100

I did postmates primarily in 2015 but only tried it a couple times in 2016.  My income from this was less than $100.  I did not receive the 1099-MISC form.  How do I report this?

No, the amount is low enough that you can just claim it as other income.  Do this under 

Federal Taxes

Wages and Income, 

I'll choose what I work on if you see it.

If not, just scroll down to Miscellaneous income, 

choose the first option for income not reported on a W-2 or 1099-MISC.

I'm doing this right now and do not see ANY of the options you have stated or listed. I'm literally going nuts because I've spent an hour trying to figure this out and it's only for 10$. All I see are forms listed for 1099-K, 1099-MISC,1099-G. I dont see any option for "I'll choose what I work on" or "income not reported on 1099 or w2"
