For 2 years, I've used a property management company to manage my rental property. They filed the 1099-misc with the IRS and sent me my copy every year. This past year, I chose to manage the property myself, under my own personal name (not an LLC) rather than use a management company. I'll still complete the Schedule E as I have in the past. I have not paid any independent contractors that would require a 1099-misc. However, I'm not sure if I need to report the rental income on a 1099-misc to the IRS since I was managing the property myself. I'm concerned that if I just fill out the Schedule E without a matching 1099-misc, it will flag as a discrepancy with the IRS. Do I need to fill out the 1099-misc for myself? Or is simply reporting the income on Schedule E sufficient?
