My Rental administrator garnished the wages of my tenant and paid me the portion due me. I did not receive a 1099. Where do I enter it on my taxes.

It still gets included in the total rent received on the SCH E. If you'll look at the rental income section, you'll see where you can select options for rental income reported on 1099-MISC, as well as rental income not reported on any tax reporting document.

What if the money was received in a different year since the property has since been sold.

You can enter it as other income. You didn't say if you received a tax from so here are both ways to enter.

If it is not reported on a tax form:
1. go to the federal income section
2. scroll to the bottom
3. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
4. Scroll to the bottom
5. Other reportable income, Start
6. Other taxable income?
7. Select YES
8. Description
9. Amount, enter your amount
10. Continue

If it is reported on a 1099:
1. go to the federal income section
2. scroll to the bottom
3. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
4. Other income not already reported on a W2 or 1099, Start
5. Other wages? Yes
6. Household employee? Continue
7. Sick pay, continue, Medicaid, continue
8. Other Earned Income? Select Yes, continue
9. Source of income? Select Other
10. Enter description
