Where do I report income less than $600 if I don't have a 1099?

[taythomp04]

Aside from my day job that has a regular W-2, I'm also an independent author, so I receive a small amount of income from various book distributors each year. In 2019, I made over $600 in royalties through Amazon, so I downloaded my 1099-MISC and entered it into my tax return with no problem (I use TurboTax Self-Employed and I treat my writing as a small business). However, I also sell through other retailers like Barnes & Noble and Apple Books, and I didn't make anywhere near $600 from any of those other platforms. If I understand correctly, I still need to report the income I received from these retailers, but because I made less than $600, they may not actually send me a 1099-MISC. I kept track of all my royalty payments throughout the year so it'll be easy enough to figure out the amounts, but where do I enter this information on my return if it's not available on any sort of form?

You can use one of the other categories in TurboTax Self-Employed (see screenshot).
