Investors & landlords

Just  FYI ... the entering of each individual 1099-misc forms in the income section of the Schedules C, E, & F  are totally optional and not required.  That income amounts are entered on those forms as a total on one line of those schedules and are not part of the tax return that is filed  to the IRS ... the IRS already has those forms since the issuer had to send them to the IRS as well as you by 1/31 and you don't need to send them again.   

 

Those screens are there to make it easier for the uneducated user of the DIY program to enter their information they receive  ... you can always skip those entry screens and enter the total annual income on the next screen as one single amount.  This saves you the  time and effort to enter each individual 1099-misc you get especially  for the Sch C user where you could possibly get several of those forms every year.
