The difference would be depreciation. 

 

If you look at Schedule E, line 18, you will see a deduction for depreciation, which is based on the value of the property and when your rental use began. According to the IRS, "Depreciation is allowances for exhaustion, wear and tear (including obsolescence) of property."

Please clarify what type of real estate income you have.  Did you sell a property that is being reported on Schedule D for capital gains, or do you have rental income and expenses for the real estate?
