Schedule E Line 31

[ptadolini]

I have an oil and gas lease payment which was reported to me on 1099-Misc box 1 (Rents).  It is showing up on my schedule E on Line 29 B as a positive number and then on line 31 it is a negative number.  What am I missing?  Seems pretty straightforward.

Schedule E (pg 2) Line 29 b reports losses as a positive number. Line 31 is the total of all losses, displayed as a negative number.

Note that Part II of Schedule E reports income/loss from Schedule K-1, not Form 1099-MISC. Rental income from a mineral lease should appear under Part II, Line 3.

You may wish to review the Sch E Worksheet for this property to be sure the property information is correct.
