I received a 1099-MISC for mineral rights on land in West Virginia that I do not own. I only own the mineral rights. The 1099-MISC contains an amount in Box - 1 Rents, as well as Box 2 - Royalties. I've read every community post I can find, and I have tried to correct the entries on Turbo Tax, but I cannot get past schedule E. I only received one 1099, but created multiple properties in the Rental Properties / Royalties section; however, I cannot seem to correct the error. When I look in the "forms" section, I can see that two Schedule E's have been created. One of the Schedule E's only includes the Royalties, but he second Schedule E contains both the Rents and Royalties on the same form. Any helpful advice is appreciated - and if you could be as specific as possible, I would appreciate it.
You are either really close or have it. They should be on the same sch E. You should only have one Sch E but will also have worksheets.
Box 1 rent does create a Sch E page 1 for renting out the right to explore.
Box 2 royalty does create Sch E page 1 for royalty income. The royalty is listed as code 6 for property type on line 1b.
Reference: Instructions for Schedule E (Form 1040)
Here are some screenshots. I have two royalties listed with the rent.
