I am a landlord and I received rental assistance payments from the State of Illinois due to Covid
I'm just providing clarification here for others that may read this thread.
Typically, all monies received for rental property from any source for any reason is included in the total rental income received for the tax year on the *federal* tax return. The only exclusions for that which I am aware of, are payments specifically excluded by the *federal* government (not state) such as payments for a federally declared disaster.
