Did you receive schedule Q (form 1066) ?

Taxpayer who is a holder of a residual interest in a REMIC  Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits, use Part IV on schedule E  to report their total share of the REMIC's taxable income or loss for each quarter included in their tax year.

Can I delete those forms if I already sold all my shares in 2021?

Yes, you can delete page 2 of Schedule E, if you don't need it at all. Here are some other items that trigger Schedule E, page 2:

  • Income from a partnership or S-Corporation
  • Passive income or loss (can be from rental)
  • Income or Loss From Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs)
  • Income from estates or trusts
  • Net farm rental income or (loss) from Form 4835
