How do I list crypto staking rewards from 1099-MISC Box 3 on Schedule E?
I have income reported on 1099-MISC Box 3 (Other Income) for crypto staking rewards. Based on the references mentioned in this article (https://www.cointracker.io/blog/how-staking-tezos-may-generate-rental-income), I am taking the position that the cryptocurrency is personal property and that the rewards from staking this property should be treated as (passive) rental income.
Since it is listed as Box 3 income, I am have a hard time categorizing this as rental income when uploading the 1099-MISC. When I attempt to add the income manually using the Schedule E wizard, all of the information is related to land or building property and asks for a physical address and automatically adds depreciation, which is not applicable for this instance.
1. Is there a way to categorize this income as rental even if it has been reported as Box 3 - Other Income on the 1099-MISC that was filed?
2. How do I go about adding rental income that was attributed to a digital (non-physical) property?
