We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

Did you get a tax form reporting this income to you? If yes, what form?

If you didn't get a form, where did you enter the income in your tax return?

No, I did not get any forms. Only a letter along with the check.

I put it in 1099 Misc. Other Income
