I would love to know if you ever figured this out because I'm in the same situation.
My husband and I had rental income of about 40K, but our net income is zero after all the expenses associated with our rental property (I guess we make too much from our "regular jobs" to take an actual loss).
I'm stuck on the income section of the South Carolina tax return. The federal info is printed there, but the boxes for SC have to be filled in manually, and it asks for rentals/royalties earned in SC and certainly does not differentiate between gross or net.
If it is gross, I do not see anywhere later in the SC return to enter expenses unless I'm missing something.
