Investors & landlords
The property manager "SHOULD" have put the amount in box 1. Had they done that, then a SCH C would not have been created. So contact your property manager and inform them of their error so they don't make the same screw-up next year. I would suggest you contact them in writing so that if they do screw it up next year you can "INSIST" they issue you a correct 1099-MISC and if they refuse, you report them to the IRS.
Now there's no need really for them to issue a corrected 1099-MISC for 2019. But if the IRS "calls you" out on it, you'll just have to answer with an explanation which, while a hassle for you, shouldn't be a problem.
For your 2019 taxes just "pretend" you didn't receive a 1099-MISC at all and enter the income "as" rental income in the SCH E section of the program.
You will also need to delete the SCH C that the program created. To do that, work through the Business Income/Expenses section and when asked if you want to enter a businss select YES. THen you'll see a businses listed there. Click the delete button next to it, and then you "MUST" continue working through until you come to a screen with a DONE button on it, and actually click the DONE button. Your deletion does not "stick" until you physically click a DONE button.
