Investors & landlords

Unfortunately, you can't report both rental income and royalty income under the same property on Schedule E (this is a TurboTax program limitation).

 

To resolve this, enter two separate properties (activities) under Rental Properties & Royalties.

 

From to the list of Rental/Royalty Properties, review the entries for the Royalty Property that received royalty income on Form 1099-MISC. Be sure you checked the box for "Royalty" in the Property Profile section.

 

After you've completed this review, add a new rental property. You can keep the same address but enter a different property description and be sure to mark this as "Rental". Enter the income reported as "Rents" on Form 1099-MISC.

 

You can report your expenses under the Rental Property, as well as any other rental income.

 

With regards to the property address, the IRS instructions for a royalty property say address lines 1 and 2 should be left blank, but sometimes the program won't let you continue without an address. Your address entries are preserved on the individual Schedule E Worksheets that are part of your complete return (not an IRS form).
