We reported a business loss from an S-Corp in 2015 and our schedule E is only showing page 2. Why does it only show this page?

My lender is looking for the first page of Schedule E and asking why it is not there.  What do I tell them?

Income (loss) from an S-Corporation is properly reflected on IRS Schedule E, page 2.

If you did not have income or loss from Rental Real Estate and Royalties, page 1 does not exist as it wasn't used to prepare your return.  

If your income was solely from Partnerships, S-Corporations, Estates, Trusts or REMICs only page 2 of Schedule E would be filed with your return.

Your bank may not be familiar with income taxes and doesn't know what to ask for.

You can show the bank that all of the amounts on your Form 1040 from a Schedule E reconcile to page 2 of the Schedule.

If  the bank insists on page 1, print a blank copy from the IRS (IRS form Schedule E)  and give to them.  It will have all of the information, that would be on any copy that you could print.
