Investors & landlords

Listen up ... all you have to do is enter the rent on the Sch E in any way possible.  Entering it on the 1099 form in the program does NOT send that form to the IRS with the return.  They get a copy of the 1099 directly from the issuer so they don't need it from you.  The program has a 1099 entry screen for your convince only so don't worry about it...   you will either enter the income on the 1099 entry screen  OR the Sch E section but do NOT do both ... as you have noticed it is not a good thing to do.
