I issued 1099 misc to my housekeeper for my rental properties , where do i enter the information.

I own more than 2 vacation rentals.  I hire an independent contractor (LLC) to do the cleaning.  I issue her a 1099-misc.  Where do I enter that in Schedule E.

That's a cleaning and maintenance expense (I assume that's what you paid the housekeeper for). So it's entered in the rental expenses section for cleaning and maintenance.

Thanks for the reply.  I do have a follow-up question.  If I forgot to issue her a 1099 misc, then I cannot deduct payment for her service as an expense?

The fact you didn't issue one doesn't change anything. You paid her, and I assume you have checks or bank records to prove it. The fact that she did not receive a 1099-MISC does not negate her from reporting the income on her own tax return, and the lack of a 1099-MISC does not negate her legal requirement to report the income.
