Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The LLC doesn't provide much tax benefit versus the schedule E you are currently using.  

 

You can file a separate partnership return for the LLC and transfer all of the properties over to it and the tax rate may be a little lower.  But the paperwork hassle is a lot higher.  

 

The way that you have been filing is honestly a pretty common way to handle tax filing in your situation.  The schedule E avoids self-employment tax and lets you use the losses against regular income if you actively participate in the rentals.
