Investors & landlords

You should choose to enter the full amounts for the property on your Schedule E and let TurboTax Home & Business use the Ownership Percentage method to calculate your correct Schedule E.  To do this:

 

  1. Within your return use the magnifying glass to search Schedule E
  2. Click Jump to schedule E
  3. Answer the questions appropriately until you get to the We Can Automatically Divide Your Income and Expenses for You page
  4. Choose Yes, I will enter total amounts for...(property)
  5. Input your Ownership Percentage
  6. Continue answering the questions and complete the Rental Summary with the total costs for the property, including the 1099-MISC you received

Your Schedule E will then show your ownership percentage and apply that to the amounts.  Your brother should include his share of the 1099-MISC on his own return as well.
