You need to enter all your deductions for rental properties on schedule E and the deductions for a business on schedule C. You can't split deductions for the same activity between schedule C and schedule E. Rental activties do not typically require vehicle and home office expenses. A rental typically has things like mortgage interest, property taxes and repairs. If you need to enter vehicle expenses, you need to calculate them separately and enter the deduction amount as a miscellaneous expense item. The home office deduction is most likely not allowed as it is not normally an ordinary and necessary expense as it related to a rental activity. If you are considered a real estate professional, you can enter all of your rental activities on a schedule C as it will be treated as a business.
