We have filed Sch C for a rental property since 1980.   Should we continue to file on Sch C?       Is this still considered to be a business, as opposed to filing Sch E.  Will we get the newer Qualified Business Income Deduction which should be a help for reduction of total income or is it additional income for us.

You should probably have been filing on Schedule E (not Schedule C) unless you are a real estate dealer or you provided significant services to your renters.

You might want to consult with a local tax professional at this point.
