Investors & landlords

We appear to be running around in circles on this topic. I'm not trying to be difficulty, just want to make sure I do this correctly.  It doesn't make sense to put these taxes where you're saying because I would have to know how to divide up the taxes I've paid and I have no idea how much to put for each company (there were 4 last year) that I got a check from in 2019.  I paid taxes to the county in TX, why would I enter it as an expense to the companies that issued me royalty checks?
