Question

Rent paid with a 1099-Misc

After years of doing my taxes on Turbo Tax it just dawned on me that I might be taxing myself twice on the same dollars.  When prompted, I enter the information on my 1099-MISC for payments made through the housing authority.  However, I also enter the total rents collected under each apartment.  Am I not supposed to enter the 1099-MISC since I'm already putting the rent with the associated apartment?  

 

 I don't see where the 1099-MISC gets 'tied' to any particular apartment.  I also don't want to NOT enter them if I'm supposed to be.

 

Thanks!

When you enter your rental income by property, you will be asked if the rent income was reported on a Form 1099-Misc. If so, you should enter the Form 1099-Misc there and it will be allocated to the correct property:
