Question

Where do I enter Rental information in TurboTax? I am unable to even find the Schedule E form to fill it out? TurboTax used to be straightforward. It is no more.

The easiest way to find Schedule E in TurboTax is to use the Search box at the top right side of the TurboTax header. Enter "schedule e", hit Enter, then click "jump to schedule e". This will take you directly to the start of this section.

 

All desktop editions (CD/download) can prepare a Schedule E (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, and Home and Business). In Online TurboTax, only Premier and the Self-Employed Edition can prepare Schedule E, as well as their Live counterparts; i.e., Live Premier and Live Self-Employed

To populate schedule E for rental income and expenses, you need to first go to the Federal section of TurboTax. Then choose Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E). Work through that section to enter your rental income end expenses.

 I use the CD version of the program and it's basic layout and functionality hasn't changed over the 18 years I've been using it. Can't speak for the online version, as I have an issue with allowing a private company (not just TTX either) to store my personal information on server's I have no access to or control over.  So I've never used it.

If using TT Online, you must upgrade to Premier.

Using Premier; PC download.  Schedule E is not part of the normal workflow.  One must know that is is missing and go search for it.  Not user friendly.  Wasted an hour of my time.

Home and Business also has a Schedule E.

If you are using the Desktop CD/Download program then ALL versions have rentals and all the forms.  You just get more help in the higher versions.  So you can even use Deluxe.  You should find it pretty easy.
