1099-Misc box 3 on rental property

I own ranch land that I lease to a rancher for a flat fee so therefore use Schedule E.  A utility company is interested in installing transmission lines on my property and paid me a fee to do a survey.  This company issued a 1099-Misc with the amount listed in box 3 “Other Income”.  TurboTax will not allow this entry under Schedule E.  The land is owned by my sole proprietor LLC and is a disregarded entity.  How do I enter this income in TurboTax?

1099-Misc box 3 on rental property

It depends. You can use Box 3 and it will be listed as 'Other Income' or you can enter it on Schedule E yourself and delete the 1099-MISC.

 

For Other Income follow use the information. It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following:

 

'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?'

 

'No' on the screen 'Did the '____'  involve an intent to earn money?'

 

This will report the income without any business activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z).

 

Click the link to delete this form 1099-MISC and enter it directly as rental income.
