Where do I go to complete a form reporting rent my self-employed wife paid to her landlord? I think I need to send her landlord (and her billing assistant) a 1099 .

[MinhT · Accepted solution]

You'll need to send a form-1099-MISC to her landlord if the total amount of rents paid is $600 or above. Note that you do not have to issue the 1099-MISc if rent was paid through a real estate agent or a property manager.

You can use TurboTax Self-Employed to prepare and e-file forms 1099-MISC.

To prepare forms 1099-MISC, follow these steps:

•  Sign out of your account and sign in again. On the landing page, click on Prepare W2s and 1099s (see attached screenshot).
• You will be taken to the TurboTax Quick Employer Forms (QEF) website.
• Sign in with your TurboTax username and password. If you do not have an account, click Create Account to create a new account. Note carefully the username and password as you need then if you need to retrieve the forms later.
• After signing in, click on Create New Form
• On the next page, choose the type of forms you wish to prepare then click Continue to begin entering information for your forms.
