Should I have received some kind of tax form (e.g. 1099)?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I was offered a work-from-home position with a company, making sales calls and doing some tele-fundraising stuff. When I was being hired I was asked for my SSN and was constantly told I would receive my contract soon. I never did.

I was paid via Paypal, $8 an hour, and Paypal took out a fee for each payment I received. I made around $800 altogether, before they stopped giving me jobs as it was cheaper to just pay their employees from poorer countries who were willing to take $2 an hour.

When working, they installed the programs onto my laptop, all I had to do was get a headset. My hours were logged on their system. I couldn't view my hours, it was just in their records, so I just had to trust them to pay me correctly, especially since I didn't receive a payslip that included my hours worked or anything.

I was expecting to receive a 1099-MISC, as I do for all my other sub-contract jobs, but I didn't receive anything.

I messaged my old manager who said I would get a tax form from Paypal if I made over a certain amount. Paypal confirmed I hadn't made over the amount at which they send out any tax forms.

That was that. So... what do I do when filing my taxes for this work? Do I just file under Schedule-C and put it under gross receipts? Seems a bit weird that the company that paid me as a sub-contractor and who I advertised for doesn't send out 1099s.

I searched the business name on the Taxable Entity Search page and they only came up under the abbreviated version of their business, and the status was "FRANCHISE TAX INVOLUNTARILY ENDED". I've tried contacting the owner of the company about what tax forms I should be filing, but she's ignoring me entirely.
