Investors & landlords

My Home and Business version won't let me report a 1099 MISC for Farm rental income in the Farm Income section.

That actually comes as no surprise, since you stated you were paid the money for research, and not for farming activity.  I actually wonder if you have to file a SCH E at all.

What exactly was the rent paid for? The use of a structure? The use of land only? Something else?

For what period of time was the rent paid? One day? One week? One month? Something else?

Are you "in the business" of renting real estate on a continuing and/or recurring basis?
