I worked somewhere for 4 hours and got around 85 dollar check. How do i report this income as they have not given me a w2 for this

There may not be a need to file a tax return.  The Standard deduction for a single person is $12,950, and married is $25,900.  If you don't have income that is greater than that, you do not have to file a tax return.

However, if you paid federal or state income taxes you will have to file if you want to get a refund.

If you need to report the income:

Enter this Miscellaneous Income:

1. Click on the Federal tab.
2. Click on Income & expenses.
3. Scroll down to Less Common Income.
4. Click on Start or Update button Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
5. On the next screen (Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income), click the Start or Update button for Other reportable income.
6. Did you receive any other taxable income.  Click Yes.
7. Other Taxable Income, enter a description and the amount.  Click Continue.
8. Click Done.

The income will be reported on Schedule 1 line 8 (z) with the description that you entered.
