Investors & landlords
It is not unexpected that you would only receive a single Form 1099-MISC since all the rent was paid to a single person from a single entity. You should have records to show what portion of the income is attributable to each property or you could contact the management company for the breakdown between the two properties.
It is important that you keep the income and expenses separated for each property when you report it on your tax return. After you determine the breakdown between the two properties, enter the information from the 1099-MISC for each property's section of the rental income and expenses, but only enter the rent amount attributed to that property. Just be sure that the amount reported for each one adds up to the total on the form you received.
Another simpler option would be to enter the income amount attributed to each property in the income section for that property without saying it was reported on a Form 1099-MISC. Keep your Form 1099-MISC for your records along with documentation showing how you divided the income among the properties. If the IRS questions you, you have the documentation and an explanation.
