Where do I report the 1099-MISC, Box 1 amount?

Report rental income from real estate on Schedule E.

However, if you provided substantial services to the tenant, sold real estate as part of a business, or rented out personal property as a business, report it on Schedule C instead.

If your employer paid you to use your personal property (for example, your car) as part of your job, this should be reported as Other Income on Form 1040.

If you're not in the business of renting property, income from renting personal property would also be reported as Other Income on Form 1040. See Publication 525  for more information.

You can tell us where you'd like to report it on the screen after adding your 1099-MISC.
