1099-NEC for Vacation Rental Reported on Schedule E

[finethreads]

I rent my home for four months out of the year; traveling during that rental period.  Otherwise I live in the home.  I have a rental management company that manages the property during the rental period, but is largely uninvolved when I live there.  During the time that I live in my home, I personally make repairs, pay for contractors to do monthly maintenance, pay contractors for repairs, etc.  I have one contractor who is a sole proprieter and it appears that I need to issue him a 1099-NEC.  I can see in the TT Interview where it asks if you pay anone more than $600 and whether or not you reported that payment on a 1099-NEC.  However, I do not see anywhere in TT where I can file a 1099-NEC.  I tried filling out the 1099-NEC Worksheet, but that appears to link to a schedule C, not a Schedule E.   Spent a couple of hours trying to research the forums.   No luck.  Any help or guidance appreciated.

Form 1099-NEC is for trade or business reporting only.

See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1099mec#en_US_2022_publink100019786

I qualify for the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, which begs the question:  Am I running a business?”.  That is what concerned me.  

I eventually found an IRS safe harbor notification that allows for QBI on rental enterprises.
