Investors & landlords
Residental Rental income is reported on SCH E as a part of your personal 1040 tax return. There are no exceptions. So if your rentals are in a single member LLC not one single penny of rental income or rental expense is reported on SCH C. It all gets reported on SCH E. There are no exceptions.
If your rentals are in a multi-member LLC meaning that you report the rental income/expenses on a 1065-partnership return, then the partnerships issues you a K-1. But still, when you enter that K-1 on your personal 1040 tax return all the rental stuff, income and expenses, is reported on page 2 of the SCH E that is a part of your personal 1040 tax return.
If you received a 1099-MISC for rental income, then it's reported in box 1 of that 1099-MISC. If entered on a 1065 return the amount gets included in box 2 of the K-1. If reported on your personal 1040 tax return then the income gets included on line 3 of the SCH E.
Under no circumstances and with no exceptions is residential rental income reported on SCH C.
NOTE: If this is an AirB&B rental then that may or may "NOT" be "residential" rental income. In some cases it could be considered "commercial" rental income. The rules are different for that.
