How do I report money I received in a company check that didn't take out taxes or send any documentation

It depends. If the money you received in the form of a check represented compensation for your services and could have been reported on a W-2 but wasn't:

Under the Federal menu, click on Wages & Income
Expand the menu for Less Common Income
Click Start/Revisit next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
Click Start/Revisit next to the first option, Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
Answer Yes to the question, Did you receive other wages?
Continue through the screens until you get to Any Other Earned Income
Answer Yes to the question, Did you earn any other wages?
On the next screen, choose Employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2
Enter the information on the screens that follow

If you are self-employed and have expenses to deduct, and this money was earned in the same line of work, then add this amount to the other business income you are reporting.
