Investors & landlords

I have the same issues - we have income and royalties on the same property.

I get 2 errors on Schedule E. One on line 3, if I enter 0.00 in the first box, the amount listed on the 1099-MISC is already entered. Exactly the same on Line 4 error. It will not accept a blank or zero on Line 3 or 4, and if I enter the amounts that are already listed under the 1099-MISC lines it duplicates the amounts, which is incorrect.

Example:

Say I got $1000.00 for rent (the property is already marked that we do not need to provide a 1099) line 3 is blank, but it shows up under line 3 1099-MISC as $1000.00.
Say I got 1500.00 on royalties (it is the same property; already marked that we do not need to provide a 1099) line 4 is blank, but it shows up under line 4 1099-MISC as $1500.00.

How do I get past the errors? I hope that's enough of an explanation to get an answer that will work for me.
