Investors & landlords
STOP trying to enter the 1099-K in the 1099-K section of the program ... your hitting your head against a wall for no reason.
The income reported on a 1099-K is simply entered as rental income in the Sch E entry section of the TT program ... look at the input screen and read the FAQ :
ALSO NOTE ... "last month" & security deposits are not income in the year received and should not be entered as such UNTIL it is forfeited. If that is reported on the 1099-K then to keep the IRS happy you can enter the income as reported on the 1099-K form then make a negating entry in the expenses section such as "less security deposit". And technically those payments from the tenent should not be kept in your checking account but in a separate non interest bearing account meant to house these "escrow" payments and in some states this is a requirement by law ... check your state's rules.
