how to report an ETF or CMO like Fed Home Loan MTG Corp CMO that a 1099 is not issued but only reports under the heading of proceeds? Do I have to report anything less than $10.00?

Yes, you should report anything more than $1, unless it is in a retirement account.

Generally, you will get a Form K-1 from an ETF, but if you definitely did not get a tax form from this investment, you can just report the amount of income as other income.

Here is how to enter it as other taxable income:

Select Federal on the left side menu.
Select Income and Expenses toward upper left.
Expand/ scroll down the list and find the section called, Less Common Income.
Scroll all the way down and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
Select Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
Answer the first question Yes.
