[Carl]

Yes.

If this is rental real estate that you own, then all rental income/expenses/depreciation gets reported on SCH E as a part of your joint 1040 tax return.

You may wish to get professional help with this.  Also see:

2021 Publication 527 (irs.gov)

I agree with @SweetieJean; get professional help. 

There are at least a couple of options:

TurboTax Live or Full Service.

See https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/live/full-service

Contact an enrolled agent in your area.

When you see thr professional, ask questions about how the income and expenses are reported. Ask how depreciation works. You will then have a template to follow next year.
