Last year I started doing work on Amazon Mechanical Turk as well as on Connect Cloud Research. I did not receive any forms from either place and I made a little under $400 at each place. I have no idea how to progress as I don't really have a way to get in touch with them per se. How should I proceed?

Since this is work as an independent contractor, you are considered self-employed. You can enter your income using your records, without a form.  To enter your self-employment income click the following:

  • Federal
  • Income and Expenses
  • Show More next to Self-Employment
  • Start or Revisit next to Self-Employment
  • Yes, to you have any self-employment income or expenses
  • Enter the type of self-employment work you do
  • Click through a few more screens and you will get to a screen that says "Your XX info"
  • Click Looks good
  • Then you will come to a screen that says Let's enter the income for your business.  It will give you the option of 1099-NEC or Other self-employed income including the 1099K , cash and checks.  Select the one that applies to you and hit continue
  • If you do not select one, it will not let you enter your income
  • Enter your self-employment income on the next screen
