Investors & landlords

It depends. You can use Box 3 and it will be listed as 'Other Income' or you can enter it on Schedule E yourself and delete the 1099-MISC.

 

For Other Income follow use the information. It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following:

 

'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?'

 

'No' on the screen 'Did the '____'  involve an intent to earn money?'

 

This will report the income without any business activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z).

 

Click the link to delete this form 1099-MISC and enter it directly as rental income.
