I was a paid volunteer for an event and was paid by check, the amount was only a couple hundred dollars so under the $600 minimum for getting a 1099. The organization will not be giving me a W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, etc.

I am using Turbo Tax desktop and I cannot find any way to enter this income without the W2 or 1099. Can you please tell me how to enter minor miscellaneous income when I will not be getting a tax form from the provider?

You can report it as "other income" on Schedule 1 line 8z with a description that you enter. Here's how to enter it in desktop TurboTax.

Click the Federal Taxes tab, then click Wages & Income. (In TurboTax Home & Business click the Personal Tab, then click Personal Income.)
Click "I'll choose what I work on."
On the screen "Your 2024 Income Summary," scroll all the way down to the last section, "Less Common Income." Click the Start button for the last topic, "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C."
On the next screen, "Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income," scroll down and click the Start button for the last topic, "Other reportable income."
The next screen asks, "Any Other Taxable Income?" Click Yes.
On the next screen, "Other Taxable Income," enter a short description and enter the amount. Click Continue.
On the next screen click Done.
