I made under $600 which means no 1099. Where do I start in TT to report my income? I've watched videos but they were more of how to calculate what you owe, etc... I'm looking for step by step instructions in TT.

Do I click on I use my own name for my business name and business description would be DoorDash?

Do I click on I started (or aquired) my business in 2023? If that is checked, then it asks for the date I started or aquired this business. What do I put there? Or do I check Neither of these apply (The other option was I sold (or disposed of) my business in 2023?

Did I pay any employees in 2023? That would be a no
Do you have an EIN? That would be no
It's asking for a business code. I clicked on lookup business code and DoorDash is not found. What now?
Do you use the Cash Method of accounting to run your business? How is this to be answered?
If I answer yes, it asks me Did you make any payments that required you to issue a form 1099?

Few more questions after that but I did not get a part that said Other Self Employed income.

Your name. You use DoorDash, but DoorDash is NOIT your employer nor the name of your business.

YES, If you started doing this in 2023, enter the date you started driving for Uber.

This is needed for calculating depreciation on your car if you use the Actual Expense Method for the vehicle.
