We have a rental property owned by an LLC with our living trust as the sole owner. We file Schedule Cs for my husband and I for the LLC and a Schedule E for the rental property on our 1040. We plan to take owner distributions against the business equity account. It is our understanding, the owner distributions against business equity do not count as personal income. Is that correct? If not, how and where is it entered in the home/business Turbotax?

What do you mean by "owner distributions"?

Your LLC is a single-member LLC since the trust is the only member while your trust appears to be (and almost certainly is) a grantor trust. As a result, both entities are disregarded for federal income tax purposes, and you can report on your 1040.

Again, however, you used the term "owner distributions" so you need to clarify what that term means to you (e.g., withdrawal of income from a bank account, withdrawal of principal, etc.).
