I need to use a Schedule E not a Schedule C but Turbo Tax is only given the option for the schedule C how do we fix this?

Please see below to delete Schedule C:

1.  Go to "My Account" in the top right corner

2. Select "Tools"

3.  Under "Tools Center" select "Delete a Form"

4.  Navigate to "Schedule C" and select "Delete" next to it

If that does not work, try this:

1. Go to the search bar in the top right corner

2. Enter "Schedule C"

3.  Select "Jump to Schedule C"

4.  Answer "No" to "Did you have any income and expenses for a business in 2017?"

To enter Schedule E, see the steps below:

  • In TurboTax, search for rentals and then click the "Jump to" link in the search result.
  • Answer Yes to the question Did you have any rental or royalty income and expenses?
  • Follow the on-screen instructions as you proceed through the rental and royalties section.
  • We'll first ask you to enter general information about your rental (description, address, ownership percentage, etc.)
  • Eventually, you'll come to the Rental Summary screen which is where you enter your rental income and expenses, assets and depreciation, and vehicle expenses.

Tip: Rent is considered income in the year you received it, not the year it applies to. This means that a rent payment for the month of January 2018 collected in December 2017 is reported on your 2017 return.
