Is this for rental income reported in box 1 of the 1099-MISC? If so, then you don't need to enter the 1099-MISC at all, so long as you include the income on the SCH E. Just tell the program that you don't have any rental income reported on a 1099-MISC, and then make sure that income is included on the SCH E, spread across the properties in the amounts that apply to each property.
Understand that when you enter a 1099-MISC, it's not sent to the IRS by you. In fact, not even the fact that the income came from the 1099-MISC is even included in your e-filed return that gets transmitted to the IRS.
Was hoping that was correct.... did that for the first 8, but was getting nervous for the next 12 !!
when done make sure rental income line 3 on all schedule E columns is at least as much as 1099. the IRS does compare the amount on 1099's it gets to what a taxpayer reports. if you report less on return your asking for the IRS to change return without asking.
