Follow these steps to report this activity on Form 4835.

1. Open your return and go to Federal >> Wages & Income.
2. Scroll down to Farm Income and Rental. If you're already logged in, use this link: Farm Income
3. Select or Start/Update/Revisit Farm Income and Farm Rental.
4. On "Did you have any farm or farm rental income in 20XX?" click Yes.
5. On "Tell Us About Your Farm or Farm Rental Income," select I received a share of the production from my farm rental (this is required to trigger Form 4835).

As I stated before, it duplicates my crop share check. I received one check for $5,124 . When I go back to the summary to see if it's been entered as two different line items, there is only one. So it's not been duplicated where I can delete one of them. That's normally the case. Also, the Form 4835 is not being generated in the software. Since I have you here , in order to get this done, I went ahead and paid the Ask an Expert fee. And I was told that they didn't have anybody that could answer this question for me and that they would schedule an appointment, and they have not called me back. If you can help me just enter this correctly, I do not need that extra $70 service. Because they haven't helped me do anything . I'd just as soon get it entered correctly and file my taxes. To be clear, I did follow all the instructions that you have given me previously, and they do not function properly. And I spent five hours on the phone talking to three different TurboTax assistants. They helped me follow those exact instructions and were unable to get it to process properly. Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

Thank you,

John Morris

Have you looked at your Form 1040 to see if the income is duplicated on your actual tax return? Farming income is reported on Schedule 1 Line 5, and includes Farm Rental Income.

To preview Form 1040, including Schedule 1, open your return and go to Tax Tools in the left column. Choose Tools then View Tax Summary. When that popup appears, choose Preview my 1040 in the left column. Scroll down to see Schedule 1.

If you have paid for TurboTax, you can preview all the forms in your return, including Schedule E, which is where Form 4835 and Schedule F are combined on Line 41. Follow the instructions here: Can I print a copy of my TurboTax Online return before I file it?

Sometimes the summary pages of TurboTax are not the same as the actual entries for the listed topics. It's also possible this is browser-related.
