I'm using online mode which doesn't allow me to go directly to schedule e. I'm stuck in an endless loop between "review" and trying to add the income on a 1099MISC - which is where it appears.
What box #, on the 1099-Misc, is the money in.
What does "pet rent" mean? Schedule E may not be the right place. The rental of personal property goes on line 21 of Schedule 1.
I went ahead and followed your directions to enter another 1099 - even though the income was included on the same 1099 as the rental income. "Pet rent" is the additional monthly fee for my tenant to have a pet. The property manager listed it separately under "other income" instead of with the rents - and Turbo tax wouldn't allow "other income" as a legitimate field for reporting rental income.
The answer is not correct for your situation. You should treat that as regular rental income, not other income. It belongs on line 3 of Schedule E. The workaround is to enter it in box 1 at the 1099-Misc screen and not box 3.
Ask you rental manager to use box 1 on future 1099-Misc.
Arghh....actually, it didn't work. I still am getting the "review" message and can't override it to finish my taxes.
Instead of entering at the 1099-Misc screen, Enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab
- Wages & Income
Scroll down to:
-Misc Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
- On the next screen, choose – Other reportable income
-For description enter Other income (or "personal property rent", if more appropriate) in box # (whichever box your income is in) of 1099-Misc. It goes on line 21 (Sch 1) of form 1040.
