How can I link my rental income to Schedule E when "review" revealed putting the income on Schedule C or E, but the fields are not editable/grayed out?

I need to make sure to connect my rental income to Schedule E. I added rental income using 1099-MISC information. During the review before filing, it prompted me to link to Schedule C or E (my case) to get my info in the right place. I followed the steps in the instructions, but it keeps having the error, and I cannot add income amount on Box 1 under Schedule E as it's grayed out.

Rather than enter the IRS form 1099-MISC and attach the income to your rental activity, recommend reporting the IRS form 1099-MISC income within the rental activity.

 

In TurboTax Premier Online, follow these steps:

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income.

  • Click to the right of Rental Properties and Royalties.
  • At the screen Your 2024 rentals and royalties summary, click the pencil icon to the right.
  • At the screen Here's rental property info, select Add income to report rental income.
  • Select Form 1099-MISC.
