How do I enter rental income from a DST which has 17 locations in 8 states and reports to me on a Substitute 1099/1098 form?

I assume you are referring to a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). Similar to all other rental properties, the distributions from a Delaware Statutory Trust are taxed as ordinary income. In addition to a Form 1099-MISC, you should have received a year-end operating statement that shows your pro-rata portion of the DST properties rental income and expenses. Each property will be reported separately on a Schedule E.

When you own income producing property out of state, you typically will need to file state income tax returns for that state. The same is true for DST properties unless the property is in a state with no income tax filing requirements. You will have to file a state return for all eight states (unless they don't have an income tax).

I think that entering the right information for a 1031 exchange and the income from the the acquired DST properties is over my head. I am using the CD version of TurboTax. Can I get a TurboTax expert to finish my filing. I thought I had signed up for $209 worth of assistance but am having trouble using you website.
