You are correct. For my rentals, there's nowhere to put the EIN on the SCH E and it's not needed. Remember, the IRS issued me that EIN, and they know exactly what SSN that EIN is tied to. So when I claim it as a rental expense on the SCH E, there's no problem. If you'll recall also, there is a spot in the program when working through the rental section, which specifically asks if you issued any 1099's for rental related work. I've never had to click YES for that as of yet. But it's there, and I assume that "somehow" it's dealt with appropriately on the tax return, should one have the need to click YES on that question in the program.
