I only earned less than $900 helping him out. Can I file without a 1099? If not which 1099 form does he need to fill out for me?

Yes, you can file without a 1099-NEC, but it is to his advantage to give you one, since he can deduct the expense. Besides, the IRS requires that he does.

You would enter your income as cash on Schedule C.

Type "Schedule C" in the search field at the top right hand of the screen.
Select "Jump To Schedule C" and you will be brought to the section of TurboTax where you can enter or have entered your business income and expense information.
