Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss

What is Schedule E?

Use Schedule E to report income and expenses from rental properties or royalties. TurboTax will automatically add a Schedule E to your return when you add a rental property or royalty, with each Schedule E being able to handle 3 rental properties or royalties. Additional Schedule E's are added as necessary.

Schedule E is also where you report profits and losses reported to you on Form K-1s from Partnerships, S-Corporations, Estates and Trusts. TurboTax will automatically add a schedule E to your return when you add a K-1, with each Schedule E being able to handle 4 K-1s. Additional Schedule E's are added as necessary.

Entering Schedule E into TurboTax

If you own rental property, receive royalties, or receive K-1s from partnerships, S-Corporations or Estates/Trusts, TurboTax will ask you the necessary questions to make sure your income or expenses are correctly reported. Just walk through the step-by-step process and we will take care of the rest.
