Should rent income be considered as 1099 income?

[xiaruohan]

I am a landlord sublet my room. Is the rent income considered as 1099?

[Hal_Al]

No.  That is, you do not need a 1099 to enter income on your tax return. You just enter it from your own records,

But, you have a bigger question: are you really a landlord, depending on what "sublet my room" means.

Rental income is "a type of" business income. But it's not reported on SCH C. It's reported on SCH E. A 1099 is not required to report rental, or any other type of business income for that matter.
