No, you need to file your rental income and expenses on Schedule E, not Schedule C.
Unless significant personal services are involved in the rental, Schedule C is not the appropriate place to report rental income and expenses.
To learn more, see the following TurboTax help article:
Should I report my rental on Schedule E or Schedule C?
does this mean i need to amend my return? I've already filed it. Turbotax autogenerated Schedule C...
Yes, you will need to Amend Your Return. When you do, you will delete the 1099-Misc that you entered, then go to the rental section of TurboTax. When you add your income, you will be able to enter the 1099-Misc and report it as rental income instead of self-employment income. If your 1099-Misc was taxed as Self-employment income, this will likely result in a refund as you would not be subject to Self-Employment taxes which are 15.3% of your profit.
