Where do I enter monies received from garnishing wages of a rental property tenant?

My Rental administrator garnished the wages of my tenant and paid me the portion due me.  I did not receive a 1099. Where do I enter it on my taxes.

It still gets included in the total rent received on the SCH E. If you'll look at the rental income section, you'll see where you can select options for rental income reported on 1099-MISC, as well as rental income not reported on any tax reporting document.
