A part of my rental income last year was paid by a government assistant program for my tenant. I have included this in my total rental income, Can I skip this 1099 MISC form?

Q. Can I skip this 1099 MISC form?

A. Simple answer: yes, since you already included the amount in your total rent received.

In the rental income section, TurboTax (TT) gives you the option of entering rental income on a 1099-Misc separately from other rental income, but there is no IRS requirement to enter it that way. The IRS will only match their copy of the 1099-Misc to the total amount of rental income you report on line 3 of Schedule E.

May I ask if you received any 1099 form? I also received $3000 from the CA rental assistance program but never received any form ti file tax. I called the CA franchise board, they told me no need to report but they are not sure about Fed. I don’t think they are correct but I am stuck on how to report this $3000 since I don’t have any 1099. Can someone please clarify if this income is needed to report for both Fed. and CA, which I believe so?

do I just include this $3000 into my other rental income like what you did , disregard waiting for the form to come? Thanks so much for helping everyone.

@Bestvalue888 This is not live chat.

You're tagging on to an existing thread that is not California specific . I agree it's unlikely that income is exempt from CA income tax, but don't know for sure.

Yes, you just include this $3000 into your other rental income like what the other guy did , disregard waiting for a form to come.
