may be subject to a business loss limitation. The disallowed  
loss resulting from the limitation will not be reflected on  
line 26, 32, 37, or 39 of your Schedule E. Instead, use Form  
461 to determine the amount of your excess business loss,  
which will be included as income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040),  
line 8p. Any disallowed loss resulting from this limitation will  
be treated as a net operating loss that must be carried forward  
and deducted in a subsequent year.

need to list them. But fill in lines 23a through 26 on only one  
Schedule E. The figures on lines 23a through 26 on that Sched-  
ule E should be the combined totals for all properties reported  
on your Schedules E.  
Once made, the election can be revoked only with the per-  
mission of the IRS. However, the election technically remains  
in effect only for as long as the spouses filing as a QJV contin-  
ue to meet the requirements to be treated as a QJV. If the spou-  
ses fail to meet the QJV requirements for a year, a new election  
will be necessary for any future year in which the spouses meet  
the requirements to be treated as a QJV.  
Single-member limited liability company (LLC). In most  
cases, a single-member domestic LLC is not treated as a sepa-  
rate entity for federal income tax purposes. If you are the sole  
member of a domestic LLC, file Schedule E (or Schedule C or  
F, if applicable). However, you can elect to treat a domestic  
LLC as a corporation. See Form 8832 for details on the elec-  
tion and the tax treatment of a foreign LLC.  
Rental real estate income is generally not included in net  
earnings from self-employment subject to self-employment tax  
and is generally subject to passive loss limitation rules. Elect-  
ing QJV status does not alter the application of the self-em-  
ployment tax or the passive loss limitation rules.  
Information returns. You may have to file information re-  
turns for wages paid to employees, certain payments of fees  
and other nonemployee compensation, interest, rents, royalties,  
real estate transactions, annuities, and pensions. For details, see  
Line A, later, and the 2023 General Instructions for Certain In-  
formation Returns.  
For more information on QJVs, go to IRS.gov/QJV.  
Reportable Transaction Disclosure  
Statement  
If you received cash of more than $10,000 in one or more  
related transactions in your trade or business, you may have to  
file Form 8300. For details, see Pub. 1544.  
Use Form 8886 to disclose information for each reportable  
transaction in which you participated. Form 8886 must be filed  
for each tax year that your federal income tax liability is affec-  
ted by your participation in the transaction. You may have to  
pay a penalty if you are required to file Form 8886 but do not  
do so. You may also have to pay interest and penalties on any  
reportable transaction understatements. The following are re-  
portable transactions.  
Qualified Joint Venture (QJV)  
If you and your spouse each materially participate (see Materi-  
al participation in the Instructions for Schedule C) as the only  
members of a jointly owned and operated rental real estate  
business and you file a joint return for the tax year, you can  
elect to be treated as a QJV instead of a partnership. This elec-  
tion, in most cases, will not increase the total tax owed on the  
joint return. By making the election, you will not be required to  
file Form 1065 for any year the election is in effect and will in-  
stead report the income and deductions directly on your joint  
return. If you and your spouse filed Form 1065 for the year pri-  
or to the election, the partnership terminates at the end of the  
tax year immediately preceding the year the election takes ef-  
fect.  
Any listed transaction that is the same as or substantially  
similar to tax avoidance transactions identified by the IRS.  
Any transaction offered to you or a related party under  
conditions of confidentiality for which you paid an advisor a  
fee of at least $50,000 for individuals or $250,000 for partner-  
ships and trusts. See the Instructions for Form 8886.  
Certain transactions for which you or a related party have  
contractual protection against disallowance of the tax benefits.  
Certain transactions resulting in a loss of at least $2 mil-  
lion in any single tax year or $4 million in any combination of  
tax years (at least $50,000 for a single tax year if the loss arose  
from a foreign currency transaction defined in section 988(c)  
(1), whether or not the loss flows through from an S corpora-  
tion or partnership).  
Note. Mere joint ownership of property that is not a trade or  
business does not qualify for the election.  
Only businesses that are owned and operated by spou-  
ses as co-owners (and not in the name of a state law  
entity) qualify for the election. Thus, a business owned

CAUTION  
Certain transactions of interest entered into that are the  
and operated by spouses through an LLC does not qualify for  
the election of a QJV.  
same as or substantially similar to transactions that the IRS has  
identified by notice, regulation, or other form of published  
guidance as transactions of interest.  
Making the election. To make this election for your rental re-  
al estate business, check the “QJV” box on line 2 for each  
property that is part of the QJV. You must divide all items of  
income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit attributable to the  
rental real estate business between you and your spouse in ac-  
cordance with your respective interests in the venture. Al-  
though you and your spouse will not each file your own Sched-  
ule E as part of the QJV, each of you must report your interest  
See the Instructions for Form 8886 for more details.  
Limitation on Losses  
If you report a loss from rental real estate or royalties in Part I,  
a loss from a partnership or S corporation in Part II, or a loss  
from an estate or trust in Part III, your loss may be reduced or

not allowed this year. You must apply the following rules to  
your loss.  
Qualified nonrecourse financing. Qualified nonrecourse fi-  
nancing is treated as an amount at risk if it is secured by real  
property used in an activity of holding real property subject to  
the at-risk rules. Qualified nonrecourse financing is financing  
for which no one is personally liable for repayment and is:  
Basis rules apply to losses from a partnership or S  
for S corporations, later, in Part II.  
At-risk rules apply to losses from rental real estate or  
Borrowed by you in connection with the activity of hold-  
ing real property (other than mineral property);  
royalties. They also apply to losses from a partnership, S  
corporation, estate, or trust. See At-Risk Rules, later, in the  
General Instructions. If the loss is from a partnership or S  
corporation, also see At-risk rules, later, in Part II.  
Not convertible from a debt obligation to an ownership  
interest; and  
Loaned or guaranteed by any federal, state, or local gov-  
ernment, or borrowed by you from a qualified person.  
Passive activity loss rules apply to losses from rental real  
estate. They also apply to losses from a partnership, S  
corporation, estate, or trust. See Passive Activity Loss Rules,  
later, in the General Instructions. If the loss is from a  
partnership or S corporation, also see Passive activity loss  
rules, later, in Part II.  
Qualified person. A qualified person is a person who ac-  
tively and regularly engages in the business of lending money,  
such as a bank or savings and loan association. A qualified per-  
son cannot be:  
Related to you (unless the nonrecourse financing obtained  
is commercially reasonable and on substantially the same terms  
as loans involving unrelated persons),  
Excess business loss rules apply to losses from all  
noncorporate trades or businesses. This loss limitation is  
figured using Form 461 after you complete your Schedule E.  
Any limitation to your loss resulting from these rules will not  
be reflected on your Schedule E. Instead, it will be included as  
income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8p, and treated as a  
net operating loss that must be carried forward and deducted in  
a subsequent year. These rules also apply to losses from a  
partnership or S corporation.  
The seller of the property (or a person related to the sell-  
er), or  
A person who receives a fee due to your investment in re-  
al property (or a person related to that person).  
More information. For more details about the at-risk rules,  
see the Instructions for Form 6198 and Pub. 925.  
At-Risk Rules  
Passive Activity Loss Rules  
In most cases, you must complete Form 6198 to figure your  
loss if you have:  
The passive activity loss rules may limit the amount of losses  
you can deduct. These rules apply to losses in Parts I, II, and  
III, and line 40 of Schedule E.  
A loss from an activity carried on as a trade or business  
or for the production of income, and  
Losses from passive activities may be subject first to the  
at-risk rules. Losses deductible under the at-risk rules are then  
subject to the passive activity loss rules.  
Amounts in the activity for which you are not at risk.  
The at-risk rules in most cases limit the amount of loss (in-  
cluding loss on the disposition of assets) you can claim to the  
amount you could actually lose in the activity. However, the  
at-risk rules do not apply to losses from an activity of holding  
real property placed in service before 1987. They also do not  
apply to losses from your interest acquired before 1987 in a  
pass-through entity engaged in such activity. The activity of  
holding mineral property does not qualify for this exception.  
You can deduct losses from passive activities in most cases  
only to the extent of income from passive activities. An excep-  
apply.  
Passive Activity  
A passive activity is any business activity in which you did not  
materially participate and any rental activity, except as ex-  
plained later. If you are a limited partner, in most cases, you are  
not treated as having materially participated in the partnership's  
activities for the year.  
In most cases, you are not at risk for amounts such as the  
following.  
Nonrecourse loans used to finance the activity, to acquire  
property used in the activity, or to acquire your interest in the  
activity that are not secured by your own property (other than  
property used in the activity). However, there is an exception  
for certain nonrecourse financing borrowed by you in connec-  
tion with the activity of holding real property (other than min-  
eral property). See Qualified nonrecourse financing, later.  
The rental of real or personal property is a rental activity un-  
der the passive activity loss rules in most cases, but exceptions  
apply. If your rental of property is not treated as a rental activi-  
ty, you must determine whether it is a trade or business activity  
and, if so, whether you materially participated in the activity  
for the tax year.  
Cash, property, or borrowed amounts used in the activity  
(or contributed to the activity, or used to acquire your interest  
in the activity) that are protected against loss by a guarantee,  
stop-loss agreement, or other similar arrangement (excluding  
casualty insurance and insurance against tort liability).  
See the Instructions for Form 8582 to determine whether  
you materially participated in the activity and for the definition  
of “rental activity.”  
Amounts borrowed for use in the activity from a person  
See Pub. 925 for special rules that apply to rentals of:  
who has an interest in the activity (other than as a creditor) or  
who is related under section 465(b)(3)(C) to a person (other  
than you) having such an interest.  
Substantially nondepreciable property,  
Property incidental to development activities, and  
Property related to activities in which you materially par-  
ticipate.  
E-3  
       
Activities That Are Not Passive Activities  
Exception for Certain Rental Real Estate Activities  
If you meet all of the following conditions, your rental real es-  
tate losses are not limited by the passive activity loss rules, and  
you do not need to complete Form 8582. If you do not meet all  
of these conditions, see the Instructions for Form 8582 to find  
out if you must complete and attach Form 8582 to figure any  
losses allowed.  
Activities of real estate professionals. If you were a real es-  
tate professional for 2023, any rental real estate activity in  
which you materially participated is not a passive activity. You  
were a real estate professional for the year only if you met both  
of the following conditions.  
More than half of the personal services you performed in  
trades or businesses during the year were performed in real  
property trades or businesses in which you materially participa-  
ted.  
1. Rental real estate activities are your only passive activi-  
ties.  
2. You do not have any prior year unallowed losses from  
any passive activities.  
You performed more than 750 hours of services during  
the year in real property trades or businesses in which you ma-  
terially participated.  
3. All of the following apply if you have an overall net loss  
from these activities.  
If you are married filing jointly, either you or your spouse  
must meet both of the above conditions without taking into ac-  
count services performed by the other spouse.  
a. You actively participated (defined later) in all of the  
rental real estate activities.  
b. If married filing separately, you lived apart from your  
spouse all year.  
A real property trade or business is any real property devel-  
opment, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisi-  
tion, conversion, rental, operation, management, leasing, or  
brokerage trade or business. Services you performed as an em-  
ployee are not treated as performed in a real property trade or  
business unless you owned more than 5% of the stock (or more  
than 5% of the capital or profits interest) in the employer.  
c. Your overall net loss from these activities is $25,000 or  
less ($12,500 or less if married filing separately).  
d. You have no current or prior year unallowed credits  
from passive activities.  
e. Your modified adjusted gross income (defined later) is  
$100,000 or less ($50,000 or less if married filing separately).  
If you qualify as a real estate professional, rental real estate  
activities in which you materially participated are not passive  
activities. For purposes of determining whether you materially  
participated in your rental real estate activities, each interest in  
rental real estate is a separate activity unless you elect to treat  
all your interests in rental real estate as one activity. To make  
this election, attach a statement to your original tax return that  
declares you are a qualifying taxpayer for the year and you are  
making the election under section 469(c)(7)(A). The election  
applies for the year made and all later years in which you are a  
real estate professional. You can revoke the election only if  
your facts and circumstances materially change.  
f. You do not hold any interest in a rental real estate activi-  
ty as a limited partner or as a beneficiary of an estate or a trust.  
Active participation. You can meet the active participation  
requirement without regular, continuous, and substantial in-  
volvement in real estate activities. But you must have participa-  
ted in making management decisions or arranging for others to  
provide services (such as repairs) in a significant and bona fide  
sense. Such management decisions include:  
Approving new tenants,  
Deciding on rental terms,  
Approving capital or repair expenditures, and  
Other similar decisions.  
If you did not make this election on your timely filed  
return, you may be eligible to make a late election to  
treat all your interest in rental real estate as one activ-  
TIP  
You are not considered to actively participate if, at any time  
during the tax year, your interest (including your spouse's inter-  
est) in the activity was less than 10% by value of all interests in  
the activity. Except as provided in regulations, limited partners  
aren't treated as actively participating in a partnership's rental  
real estate activities.

If you were a real estate professional for 2023, complete  
Schedule E, line 43.  
Other activities. The rental of a dwelling unit that you used as  
a home is not subject to the passive loss limitation rules. See  
Line 2, later, to see if you used the dwelling unit as a home.  
Modified adjusted gross income. This is your adjusted gross  
income from Form 1040, 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR, line 11,  
without taking into account:  
Any allowable passive activity loss,  
Rental real estate losses allowed for real estate professio-

through an entity that did not limit your liability is not a pas-  
sive activity even if you did not materially participate.

fits,  
Deductible contributions to a traditional IRA or certain  
other qualified retirement plans under section 219,  
For more details on passive activities, see the Instructions  
for Form 8582 and Pub. 925.

2023. Accordingly, all lines related to qualified sick and family  
leave wages remain on the employment tax returns for 2023.  
The deduction allowed for foreign-derived intangible in-  
come and global intangible low-taxed income.  
Line A  
If you made any payments in 2023 that would require you to  
file any Forms 1099, check the “Yes” box. Otherwise, check  
the “No” box. In general, if you paid at least $600 for services  
performed by someone who is not your employee (nonemploy-  
ee compensation), you must file Form 1099-NEC; and, you  
generally must file Form 1099-MISC if you paid at least $600  
in rents, prizes, medical and health care payments, or other  
miscellaneous amounts that would be income to the person re-  
ceiving them. See the 2023 General Instructions for Certain In-  
formation Returns if you are unsure whether you were required  
to file any Forms 1099. Also, see the separate instructions for  
each Form 1099.  
Recordkeeping  
You must keep records to support items reported on Schedule E  
in case the IRS has questions about them. If the IRS examines  
your tax return, you may be asked to explain the items repor-  
ted. Good records will help you explain any item and arrive at  
the correct tax with a minimum of effort. If you do not have re-  
cords, you may have to spend time getting statements and re-  
ceipts from various sources. If you cannot produce the correct  
documents, you may have to pay additional tax and be subject  
to penalties.  
Income or Loss From Rental Real  
Specific Instructions  
Estate and Royalties  
Filers of Form 1041. If you are a fiduciary filing Schedule E  
with Form 1041, enter the estate's or trust's employer identifi-  
cation number (EIN) in the space for “Your social security  
number.”  
Use Part I to report the following.  
Income and expenses from rental real estate (including  
personal property leased with real estate).  
Royalty income and expenses.  
For an estate or trust only, farm rental income and expen-  
ses based on crops or livestock produced by the tenant. Estates  
and trusts do not use Form 4835 or Schedule F (Form 1040)  
for this purpose.  
Part I  
Before you begin, see Line 3 and Line 4, later, to de-  
termine if you should report your rental real estate  
and royalty income on Schedule C or Form 4835, in-  
stead of Schedule E.  
!
If you own a part interest in a rental real estate property, re-  
port only your part of the income and expenses on Schedule E.  
CAUTION  
Complete lines 1a, 1b, and 2 for each rental real estate prop-  
erty. For royalty property, enter code “6” on line 1b and leave  
lines 1a and 2 blank for that property.  
Qualified paid sick leave and qualified paid family leave  
payroll tax credit. Generally, the credit for qualified sick and  
family leave wages, as enacted under the Families First Coro-  
navirus Response Act (FFCRA) and amended and extended by  
the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020, for leave taken af-  
ter March 31, 2020, and before April 1, 2021, and the credit for  
qualified sick and family leave wages under sections 3131,  
3132, and 3133 of the Internal Revenue Code, as enacted under  
the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the ARP) for leave  
taken after March 31, 2021, and before October 1, 2021, have  
expired. However, employers that pay qualified sick and family  
leave wages in 2023 for leave taken after March 31, 2020, and  
before October 1, 2021, are eligible to claim a credit for quali-  
fied sick and family leave wages in the quarter of 2023 in  
which the qualified wages were paid. For more information,  
see Form 941, lines 11b, 11d, 13c, and 13e; and Form 944,  
lines 8b, 8d, 10d, and 10f. You must include the full amount  
(both the refundable and nonrefundable portions) of the credit  
for qualified sick and family leave wages in gross income on  
line 3 or 4, as applicable, for the tax year that includes the last  
day of any calendar quarter with respect to which a credit is al-  
lowed.  
If you have more than three rental real estate or royalty  
properties, complete and attach as many Schedules E as you  
need to list them. But answer lines A and B and fill in lines 23a  
through 26 on only one Schedule E. The figures on lines 23a  
through 26 on that Schedule E should be the combined totals  
for all properties reported on your Schedules E. If you are also  
using page 2 of Schedule E, use the same Schedule E on which  
you entered the combined totals for Part I.  
Personal property. Do not use Schedule E to report income  
and expenses from the rental of personal property, such as  
equipment or vehicles. Instead, use Schedule C if you are in the  
business of renting personal property. You are in the business  
of renting personal property if the primary purpose for renting  
the property is income or profit and you are involved in the  
rental activity with continuity and regularity.  
If your rental of personal property is not a business, see the  
instructions for Schedule 1 (Form 1040), lines 8l and 24b, to  
find out how to report the income and expenses.  
Extraterritorial income exclusion. Except as otherwise pro-  
vided in the Internal Revenue Code, gross income includes all  
income from whatever source derived. Gross income, however,  
does not include extraterritorial income that is qualifying for-  
eign trade income under certain circumstances. Use Form 8873  
to figure the extraterritorial income exclusion. Report it on  
Schedule E as explained in the Instructions for Form 8873.  
Note. A credit is available only if the leave was taken after  
March 31, 2020, and before October 1, 2021, and only after the  
qualified leave wages were paid, which might, under certain  
circumstances, not occur until a quarter after September 30,  
2021, including qualifying quarterly payments made during  
E-5  
 
Any days you used the unit as your main home before or  
Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. If you were a debtor in a chap-  
ter 11 bankruptcy case, see Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Cases under  
Income in the Instructions for Form 1040.  
after renting it or offering it for rent, if you rented or tried to  
rent it for at least 12 consecutive months (or for a period of less  
than 12 consecutive months at the end of which you sold or ex-  
changed it).

al price.  
If you did not use the unit as a home, you can deduct all  
your expenses for the rental part, subject to the at-risk rules and  
the passive activity loss rules explained earlier.  
Line 1b  
If you did use the unit as a home and rented the unit out for  
fewer than 15 days in 2023, do not report the rental income and  
do not deduct any rental expenses. If you itemize deductions on  
Schedule A, you can deduct allowable interest, taxes, and casu-  
alty losses.  
Enter one of the codes listed under “Type of Property” in Part I  
of the form.  
Land rental. Enter code “5” for rental of land. For details  
about the tax treatment of income from this type of rental prop-  
erty, see Rental of Nondepreciable Property in Pub. 925.  
If you did use the unit as a home and rented the unit out for  
15 or more days in 2023, you may not be able to deduct all  
your rental expenses. See Pub. 527 for more information.  
Self-rental. Enter code “7” for self-rental if you rent property  
to a trade or business in which you materially participated. See  
Rental of Property to a Nonpassive Activity in Pub. 925 for de-  
tails about the tax treatment of income from this type of rental  
property.  
Regardless of whether you used the unit as a home,  
expenses related to days of personal use do not qualify  
as rental expenses. You must allocate your expenses

Other. Enter code “8” if the property is not one of the other  
types listed on the form. Attach a statement to your return de-  
scribing the property.  
based on the number of days of personal use to total use of the  
property. For example, you used your property for personal use  
for 7 days and rented it for 63 days. In most cases, 10% (7 ÷  
70) of your expenses are not rental expenses and cannot be de-  
ducted on Schedule E.  
Line 2  
If you rented out a dwelling unit that you also used for personal  
purposes during the year, you may not be able to deduct all the  
expenses for the rental part. “Dwelling unit” (unit) means a  
house, apartment, condominium, mobile home, boat, or similar  
property.  
QJV. Check the box for “QJV” if you owned the property as a  
member of a QJV reporting income not subject to self-employ-  
ment tax. See Qualified Joint Venture (QJV), earlier.  
Line 3  
For each property listed on line 1a, report the number of  
days in the year each property was rented at fair rental value  
and the number of days of personal use.  
If you received rental income from real estate (including per-  
sonal property leased with real estate), report the income on  
line 3. Use a separate column (A, B, or C) for each rental prop-  
erty. Include income received for renting a room or other space.  
A day of personal use is any day, or part of a day, that the  
unit was used by:  
Any other income should be included and reported on line 3,  
with a statement attached to your return.  
You for personal purposes;  
Any other person for personal purposes, if that person  
owns part of the unit (unless rented to that person under a  
“shared equity” financing agreement);  
If you received services or property instead of money as  
rent, report the fair market value of the services or property as  
rental income on line 3.  
Anyone in your family (or in the family of someone else  
who owns part of the unit), unless the unit is rented at a fair  
rental price to that person as his or her main home;  
Generally, rental real estate activity is reported on Sched-  
ule E even if it is also a trade or business activity; however, if  
you provided significant services to the renter, such as maid  
service, report the rental activity on Schedule C, not on Sched-  
ule E. Significant services do not include the furnishing of heat  
and light, cleaning of public areas, trash collection, or similar  
services.  
Anyone who pays less than a fair rental price for the unit;  
or  
Anyone under an agreement that lets you use some other  
unit.  
Do not count as personal use:  
Any day you spent working substantially full time repair-  
ing and maintaining the unit, even if family members used it  
for recreational purposes on that day; or  
If you were a real estate dealer, include only the rent re-  
ceived from real estate (including personal property leased with  
E-6  
   
this real estate) you held for the primary purpose of renting to  
produce income. Do not use Schedule E to report income and  
expenses from rentals of real estate you held for sale to cus-  
tomers in the ordinary course of your business as a real estate  
dealer. Instead, use Schedule C for those rentals.  
You cannot take both the credit and the deduction for the  
same expenditures.  
Line 6  
You can deduct ordinary and necessary auto and travel expen-  
ses related to your rental activities, including 50% of meal ex-  
penses incurred while traveling away from home.  
For more details on rental income, see Pub. 527.  
Rental income from farm production or crop shares. Re-  
port farm rental income and expenses on Form 4835 if:  
In most cases, you can either deduct your actual expenses or  
take the standard mileage rate. You must use actual expenses if  
you used more than four vehicles simultaneously in your rental  
activities (as in fleet operations). You cannot use actual expen-  
ses for a leased vehicle if you previously used the standard  
mileage rate for that vehicle.  
You are an individual,  
You received rental income based on crops or livestock  
produced by the tenant, and  
You did not materially participate in the management or  
operation of the farm.  
Line 4  
You can use the standard mileage rate for 2023 only if you:  
Owned the vehicle and used the standard mileage rate for  
the first year you placed the vehicle in service; or  
Report on line 4 royalties from oil, gas, or mineral properties  
(not including operating interests); copyrights; and patents. Use  
a separate column (A, B, or C) for each royalty property.  
Leased the vehicle and are using the standard mileage  
rate for the entire lease period (except the period, if any, before  
1998).  
If you received $10 or more in royalties during 2023, the  
payer should send you a Form 1099-MISC or similar statement  
by February 15, 2024, showing the amount you received. Re-  
port this amount on line 4.  
If you take the standard mileage rate, multiply the number  
of miles driven in connection with your rental activities by 65.5  
cents a mile. Include this amount and your parking fees and  
tolls on line 6.  
If you are in business as a self-employed writer, inventor, ar-  
tist, etc., report your royalty income and expenses on Sched-  
ule C, not on Schedule E.  
You cannot deduct rental or lease payments, deprecia-  
tion, or your actual auto expenses if you use the  
standard mileage rate.  
!
CAUTION  
You may be able to treat amounts received as “royalties” for  
the transfer of a patent or amounts received on the disposal of  
coal and iron ore as the sale of a capital asset. For details, see  
Pub. 544.  
If you deduct actual auto expenses:  
Include on line 6 the rental activity portion of the cost of  
gasoline, oil, repairs, insurance, tires, license plates, etc.; and  
Enter on line 4 the gross amount of royalty income, even if  
state or local taxes were withheld from oil or gas payments you  
received. Include taxes withheld by the producer on line 16.  
Show auto rental or lease payments on line 19 and depre-  
ciation on line 18.  
If you claim any auto expenses (actual or the standard mile-  
age rate), you must complete Part V of Form 4562 and attach  
Form 4562 to your tax return.  
General Instructions for Lines 5 Through 21  
Enter your rental and royalty expenses for each property in the  
appropriate column. You can deduct all ordinary and necessary  
expenses, such as taxes, interest, repairs, insurance, manage-  
ment fees, agents' commissions, and depreciation.  
See Pub. 527 and Pub. 463 for details.  
Line 10  
Do not deduct the value of your own labor or amounts paid  
for capital investments or capital improvements.  
Include on line 10 fees for tax advice and the preparation of tax  
forms related to your rental real estate or royalty properties.  
Enter your total expenses for mortgage interest (line 12), de-  
preciation expenses and depletion (line 18), and total expenses  
(line 20) on lines 23c through 23e, respectively, even if you  
have only one property.  
Do not deduct legal fees paid or incurred to defend or pro-  
tect title to property, to recover property, or to develop or im-  
prove property. Instead, you must capitalize these fees and add  
them to the property's basis.  
Renting out part of your home. If you rent out only part of  
your home or other property, deduct the part of your expenses  
that applies to the rented part.  
Lines 12 and 13  
In most cases, to determine the interest expense allocable to  
your rental activities, you must have records to show how the  
proceeds of each debt were used. Specific tracing rules apply  
for allocating debt proceeds and repayment. In general, you al-  
locate interest on a loan the same way you allocate the loan  
proceeds. You allocate loan proceeds by tracing disbursements  
to specific uses.  
Credit or deduction for access expenditures. You may be  
able to claim a tax credit for eligible expenditures paid or in-  
curred in 2023 to provide access to your business for individu-  
als with disabilities. See Form 8826 for details.  
You can also elect to deduct up to $15,000 of qualified costs  
paid or incurred in 2023 to remove architectural or transporta-  
tion barriers to individuals with disabilities and the elderly.  
E-7  
   
The easiest way to trace disbursements to specific  
uses is to keep the proceeds of a particular loan sepa-  
rate from any other funds.  
ples of improvements are adding substantial insulation or re-  
placing an entire HVAC system. Amounts paid to improve your  
property must generally be capitalized and depreciated (that is,  
they cannot be deducted in full in the year they are paid or in-  
curred). See Line 18, later.  
TIP  
Limitation on business interest. Interest you paid as part of  
your rental real estate activity is not subject to the limitation on  
business interest unless your rental real estate activity is a trade  
or business. If your rental real estate activity is a trade or busi-  
ness, you must file Form 8990 to deduct any interest expenses  
of that rental real estate activity unless you meet one of the fil-  
ing exceptions in the Instructions for Form 8990.  
Line 16  
Do not reduce your deduction for social security and  
Medicare taxes by the nonrefundable and refundable  
portions of the FFCRA and ARP credits for qualified  
sick and family leave wages claimed on an employment tax re-  
turn. Instead, report the credits as income on line 3 or 4, as ap-  
plicable.  
!
CAUTION  
If the interest you paid in your rental real estate trade or  
business is limited, figure the limit on your business interest  
expenses on Form 8990 before completing lines 12 and 13.  
Follow the instructions under How to report, later, but report  
the reduced interest on lines 12 and 13. The interest you can't  
deduct this year will carry forward to next year on Form 8990.  
Line 17  
You can deduct the cost of ordinary and necessary telephone  
calls related to your rental activities or royalty income (for ex-  
ample, calls to the renter). However, the base rate (including  
taxes and other charges) for local telephone service for the first  
telephone line into your residence is a personal expense and is  
not deductible.  
If your real estate activity is not a trade or business or you  
meet one of the filing exceptions for Form 8990, follow the in-  
structions under How to report, later, and report all of your de-  
ductible interest on lines 12 and 13.  
How to report. If you have a mortgage on your rental proper-  
ty, enter on line 12 the amount of interest you paid for 2023 to  
banks or other financial institutions.  
Line 18  
Do not deduct prepaid interest when you paid it. You can  
deduct it only in the year to which it is properly allocable.  
Points, including loan origination fees, charged only for the use  
of money must be deducted over the life of the loan.  
Depreciation is the annual deduction you must take to recover  
the cost or other basis of business or investment property hav-  
ing a useful life substantially beyond the tax year. Land is not  
depreciable.  
If you paid $600 or more in interest on a mortgage during  
2023, the recipient should send you a Form 1098 or similar  
statement by January 31, 2024, showing the total interest re-  
ceived from you.  
Depreciation starts when the property is available and ready  
for use in your business or for the production of income. It  
ends when you deduct all your depreciable cost or other basis  
or no longer use the property in your business or for the pro-  
duction of income.  
If you paid more mortgage interest than is shown on your  
Form 1098 or similar statement, see Pub. 334 regarding deduc-  
tion limits to find out if you can deduct part or all of the addi-  
tional interest. If you can, enter the entire deductible amount on  
line 12. Attach a statement to your return explaining the differ-  
ence. In the space to the left of line 12, enter “See attached.”  
See the Instructions for Form 4562 to figure the amount of  
depreciation to enter on line 18.  
You must complete and attach Form 4562 only if you are  
claiming:  
Depreciation on property first placed in service during  
2023;  
Depreciation on listed property (defined in the Instruc-  
tions for Form 4562), including a vehicle, regardless of the date  
it was placed in service; or  
Note. If the recipient was not a financial institution or you did  
not receive a Form 1098 from the recipient, report your deduc-  
tible mortgage interest on line 13.  
If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse  
if you file a joint return) were liable for and paid interest on the  
mortgage, and the other person received Form 1098, report  
your share of the deductible interest on line 13. Attach a state-  
ment to your return showing the name and address of the per-  
son who received Form 1098. On the dotted line next to  
line 13, enter “See attached.”

dential rental property. See Pub. 946 for a more comprehensive  
guide to depreciation.  
If you have an economic interest in mineral property, you  
may be able to take a deduction for depletion. Mineral property  
includes oil and gas wells, mines, and other natural deposits  
(including geothermal deposits). See section 614 and the rela-  
ted regulations for rules on how to treat separate mineral inter-  
ests.  
Line 14  
You can deduct the amounts paid for repairs and maintenance.  
However, you cannot deduct the cost of improvements. Repairs  
and maintenance costs are those costs that keep the property in  
an ordinarily efficient operating condition. Examples are fixing  
a broken lock or painting a room.  
Separating cost of land and buildings. If you buy buildings  
and your cost includes the cost of the land on which they stand,  
you must divide the cost between the land and the buildings to

6251 or Schedule I (Form 1041).  
If you are not certain of the fair market values of the land  
and the buildings, you can divide the cost between them based  
on their assessed values for real estate tax purposes.  
Part II  
Income or Loss From Partnerships and S  
Corporations  
Line 19  
If you are a member of a partnership or joint venture or a  
shareholder in an S corporation, use Part II to report your share  
of the partnership or S corporation income (even if not re-  
ceived) or loss.  
Enter on line 19 any ordinary and necessary expenses not listed  
on lines 5 through 18.  
You may be able to deduct, on line 19, part or all of the cost  
of energy efficient commercial building property and energy  
efficient building retrofit property placed in service during the  
tax year. For details, see section 179D, Form 7205 and its sepa-  
rate instructions, and Rev. Proc. 2022-14, 2022-7 I.R.B. 580,  
available at Rev. Proc. 2022-14.  
If you elected to be taxed as a QJV instead of a part-  
nership, follow the reporting rules under QJV, earlier.  
!
CAUTION  
You should receive a Schedule K-1 from the partnership or  
S corporation. You should also receive a copy of the Partner's  
or Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1. Your copy of  
Schedule K-1 and its instructions will tell you where on your  
return to report your share of the items. If you did not receive  
these instructions with your Schedule K-1, see your tax return  
instructions for how to get tax forms, instructions, and publica-  
tions. Do not attach Schedules K-1 to your return. Keep them  
for your records.  
Line 21  
If you have amounts for which you are not at risk, use Form  
6198 to determine the amount of your deductible loss. Enter  
that amount in the appropriate column of Schedule E, line 21.  
In the space to the left of line 21, enter “Form 6198.” Attach  
Form 6198 to your return. For details on the at-risk rules, see  
At-Risk Rules, earlier.  
If you are treating items on your tax return differently from  
the way the partnership or S corporation reported them on its  
return, you may have to file Form 8082.  
Line 22  
Do not complete line 22 if the amount on line 21 is from royal-  
ty properties.  
Special Rules That Limit Losses  
If you have a rental real estate loss from a passive activity  
(defined earlier), the amount of loss you can deduct may be  
limited by the passive activity loss rules. You may need to  
complete Form 8582 to figure the amount of loss, if any, to en-  
ter on line 22. See the Instructions for Form 8582 to determine  
if your loss is limited.  
If you report a loss from a partnership or S corporation, your  
loss may be reduced or not allowed this year. Apply the basis  
rules, at-risk rules, and passive activity loss rules to your loss  
on Schedule E.  
If your loss is also subject to the excess business loss rules,  
you figure that limitation separately on Form 461. Any reduc-  
tion to your loss due to the excess business loss rules will not  
be reflected on your Schedule E. See the Instructions for Form  
461 for more information.  
If your rental real estate loss is not from a passive activity or  
(explained earlier), you do not have to complete Form 8582.  
Enter the (loss) from line 21 on line 22.  
Basis rules for partnerships. Generally, you may not claim  
your share of a partnership loss (including a capital loss) to the  
extent that it is greater than the adjusted basis of your partner-  
ship interest at the end of the partnership's tax year. Any losses  
and deductions not allowed this year because of the basis limit  
can be carried forward indefinitely and deducted in a later year  
subject to the basis limit for that year. To figure the basis of  
your interest in a partnership, you can use the Worksheet for  
Adjusting the Basis of a Partner's Interest in the Partnership in  
the Partner's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1065). For  
more details on the basis rules for partnerships, see Pub. 541.  
If you have an unallowed rental real estate loss from a prior  
year that after completing Form 8582 you can include this year,  
include that loss on line 22.  
Parts II and III  
If you need more space in Part II or III to list your income or  
losses, attach a continuation sheet using the same format as  
shown in Part II or III. However, be sure to complete the “To-  
tals” columns for lines 29a and 29b, or lines 34a and 34b, as  
appropriate. If you also completed Part I on more than one  
Schedule E, use the same Schedule E on which you entered the  
combined totals in Part I.  
If you had a loss from a partnership that was not allowed  
last year because of the basis rules, but all or part is allowed  
this year, see Line 27, later, for how to report it.  
After applying the basis rules, the loss you report on Sched-  
ule E may be further reduced by the at-risk rules and passive  
activity loss rules.  
Tax preference items. If you are a partner, a shareholder in an  
S corporation, or a beneficiary of an estate or trust, you must  
take into account your share of preferences and adjustments  
E-9  
 
If you had a loss from the partnership or S corporation that  
was not allowed last year because of the passive activity loss  
rules, but all or part is allowed this year, see Line 27, later, for  
how to report it.  
Basis rules for S corporations. Generally, the deduction for  
your share of aggregate losses and deductions reported on  
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) is limited to the basis of your  
stock (determined with regard to distributions received during  
the tax year) and loans from you to the corporation. The basis  
of your stock is generally figured at the end of the corporation's  
tax year. Any losses and deductions not allowed this year be-  
cause of the basis limit can be carried forward indefinitely and  
deducted in a later year subject to the basis limit for that year.  
To figure your aggregated stock basis, you can generally use  
Form 7203. For more details on the basis rules for S corpora-  
tions, see the Instructions for Form 7203.  
Excess business loss rules. If you report a loss on Schedule E  
from a partnership or S corporation engaged in a trade or busi-  
ness, use Form 461 to figure your excess business loss. Your  
excess business loss will not be reflected on your Schedule E;  
instead, it will be added to your income on Form 1040 and car-  
ried forward to a subsequent year as a net operating loss. For  
more information, see the Instructions for Form 461.  
Domestic Partnerships  
See the Schedule K-1 instructions before entering on your re-  
turn other partnership items from a passive activity or income  
or loss from any publicly traded partnership.  
If you are claiming a deduction for your share of an aggre-  
gate loss (or you receive a distribution, dispose of stock, or re-  
ceive a loan repayment from an S corporation), check the box  
on the appropriate line in Part III, column (e), and attach Form  
7203 to your return.  
You can deduct unreimbursed ordinary and necessary ex-  
penses you paid on behalf of the partnership if you were re-  
quired to pay these expenses under the partnership agreement.  
See Line 27, later, for how to report these expenses.  
If you had a loss from an S corporation that was not allowed  
last year because of the basis rules, but all or part is allowed  
this year, see Line 27, later, for how to report it.  
After applying the basis rules, the loss you report on Sched-  
ule E may be further reduced by the at-risk rules and passive  
activity loss rules.  
If you used loan proceeds to buy an interest in, or make a  
contribution to the capital of, a partnership (debt-financed ac-  
quisition), report your share of deductible partnership interest  
expense on either Schedule A or Schedule E, depending on the  
type of asset (or expenditure if the allocation is based on the  
tracing of loan proceeds) to which the interest expense is allo-  
cated. See Line 28, later, for more information about reporting  
these interest expenses.  
At-risk rules. If you have (a) a loss or other deduction from  
any activity carried on as a trade or business or for the produc-  
tion of income by the partnership or S corporation, and (b)  
amounts in the activity for which you are not at risk, your loss  
may be limited. For more information, see At-Risk Rules, earli-  
er.  
If you claimed a credit for federal tax on gasoline or other  
fuels on your 2022 Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR based on  
information received from the partnership, enter as income in  
column (h) or column (k), whichever applies, the amount of the  
credit claimed for 2022.  
If you are subject to the at-risk rules for any activity, check  
the box on the appropriate line in Part II, column (f), of Sched-  
ule E, and use Form 6198 to figure the amount of any deducti-  
ble loss. If the activity is nonpassive, enter any deductible loss  
from Form 6198 on the appropriate line in Part II, column (i),  
of Schedule E.  
Part or all of your share of partnership income or loss from  
the operation of the business may be considered net earnings  
from self-employment that must be reported on Schedule SE.  
Enter the amount from Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), box 14,  
code A, on Schedule SE after you reduce this amount by any  
allowable expenses attributable to that income.  
If you had a loss from the partnership or S corporation that  
was not allowed last year because of the at-risk rules, but all or  
part is allowed this year, see Line 27, later, for how to report it.  
After applying the at-risk rules, the loss you report on  
Schedule E may be further reduced by the passive activity loss  
rules.  
Foreign Partnerships  
Follow the instructions below in addition to the instructions  
earlier under Domestic Partnerships.  
Passive activity loss rules. For more information about pas-  
sive activity losses, see Passive Activity Loss Rules, earlier.  
If you are a U.S. person, you may have received Forms  
1099-B, 1099-DIV, and 1099-INT reporting your share of cer-  
tain partnership income, because payors of income to the for-  
eign partnership in most cases are required to allocate and re-  
port payments of that income directly to each of the partners of  
the foreign partnership. If you received both Schedule K-1 and  
Form 1099 for the same type and source of partnership income,  
report only the income shown on Schedule K-1 in accordance  
with its instructions.  
If you have a passive activity loss, in most cases you need to  
complete Form 8582 to figure the amount of the loss to enter in  
Part II, column (g), for that activity. But if you are a general  
partner or an S corporation shareholder reporting your share of  
a partnership or an S corporation loss from a rental real estate  
activity and you meet all of the conditions listed earlier under  
have to complete Form 8582. Instead, enter your (loss) in Part  
II, column (g).  
If you are not a U.S. person, you may have received Forms  
1042-S reporting your share of certain partnership income, be-  
cause payors of income to the foreign partnership in most cases  
are required to allocate and report payments of that income di-  
rectly to each of the partners of the foreign partnership. If you  
If you have passive activity income, complete Part II, col-  
umn (h), for that activity. If you have nonpassive income or  
losses, complete Part II, columns (i) through (k), as appropri-  
ate.  
E-10  
       
received both Schedule K-1 and Form 1042-S for the same  
type and source of partnership income, report the income on  
your return as follows.  
Line 27  
If you answered “Yes” on line 27, follow the instructions be-  
low. If you do not follow these instructions, the IRS may send  
you a notice of additional tax due because the amounts reported  
by the partnership or S corporation on Schedule K-1 do not  
match the amounts you reported on your tax return.  
For all income effectively connected with the conduct of  
a trade or business in the United States, report only the income  
shown on Schedule K-1 in accordance with its instructions.  
For all income not effectively connected with the conduct  
of a trade or business in the United States, report on Sched-  
ule NEC (Form 1040-NR) only the income shown on Form  
1042-S (if you are required to file Form 1040-NR).  
Losses Not Allowed in Prior Years Due to the Basis

tional interest of a foreign partnership that:  
Enter on a separate line in column (g) of line 28 your to-  
tal prior year unallowed losses not reported on Form 8582.  
Such losses include prior year unallowed losses now deductible  
because you did not have an overall loss from all passive activ-  
ities or you disposed of your entire interest in a passive activity  
in a fully taxable transaction. Do not combine these losses  
with, or net them against, any current year amounts from the  
partnership or S corporation.

your direct interest of at least 10% to less than 10%, or  
b. Changed your direct interest by at least a 10% interest.  
4. You contributed property to a foreign partnership in ex-  
change for a partnership interest if:  
a. Immediately after the contribution, you owned, directly  
or indirectly, at least a 10% interest in the partnership; or  
Enter “PYA” in column (a) of the same line.  
b. The value of the property you contributed, when added  
to the value of any other property you or any related person

Unreimbursed Partnership Expenses  
You can deduct unreimbursed ordinary and necessary partner-  
ship expenses you paid on behalf of the partnership on Sched-  
ule E if you were required to pay these expenses under the part-  
nership agreement. You can only deduct unreimbursed expen-  
ses on Schedule E that are trade or business expenses under  
section 162. Don't report unreimbursed partnership expenses  
separately if the expenses are from a passive activity and you  
are required to file Form 8582; otherwise, do the following.  
Also, you may have to file Form 8865 if you contributed  
property with built-in gain to a foreign partnership (or certain  
domestic partnerships) or to report certain dispositions by a  
foreign partnership of property you previously contributed to  
that partnership if you were a partner at the time of the disposi-  
tion.  
Enter unreimbursed partnership expenses from nonpas-  
For more details, including penalties for failing to file Form  
8865, see Form 8865 and its separate instructions.  
sive activities on a separate line in column (i) of line 28. Do not  
combine these expenses with, or net them against, any other  
amounts from the partnership.  
S Corporations  
Distributions of prior year accumulated earnings and profits of  
S corporations are dividends and are reported on Form 1040 or  
1040-SR, line 3b.  
If the expenses are from a passive activity and you are not  
required to file Form 8582, enter the expenses related to a pas-  
sive activity on a separate line in column (g) of line 28. Do not  
combine these expenses with, or net them against, any other  
amounts from the partnership.  
If you used loan proceeds to buy an interest in, or make a  
contribution to the capital of, an S corporation (debt-financed  
acquisition), report your share of deductible S corporation in-  
terest expense on either Schedule A or Schedule E, depending  
on the type of asset (or expenditure if the allocation is based on  
the tracing of loan proceeds) to which the interest expense is  
allocated. See Line 28, later, for more information about report-  
ing these interest expenses.  
Enter “UPE” in column (a) of the same line.  
Line 28  
For nonpassive income or loss and passive income or losses for  
which you are not filing Form 8582, enter in the applicable col-  
umn of line 28 your current year ordinary income or loss (after  
applying any special rules that limit losses) from the partner-  
ship or S corporation. Report each related item required to be  
reported on Schedule E (including items of income or loss sta-  
ted separately on Schedule K-1) in the applicable column of a  
separate line following the line on which you reported the cur-  
rent year ordinary income or loss. Also, enter a description of  
Your share of the net income of an S corporation is not sub-  
ject to self-employment tax.

same line.  
line 37. Do not include this amount in the total on line 37. In-  
stead, enter the amount on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR,  
line 26.  
If you are required to file Form 8582, see the Instructions  
for Form 8582 before completing Schedule E.  
A U.S. person who transferred property to a foreign trust  
may have to report the income received by the trust as a result  
of the transferred property if, during 2023, the trust had a U.S.  
beneficiary. See section 679. An individual who received a dis-  
tribution from, or who was the grantor of, or transferor to, a  
foreign trust must also complete Part III of Schedule B (Form  
1040) and may have to file Form 3520. In addition, the owner  
of a foreign trust must ensure that the trust files an annual in-  
formation return on Form 3520-A.  
Debt-financed acquisition. A debt-financed acquisition is the  
use of loan proceeds to buy an interest in, or to make a contri-  
bution to the capital of, a partnership or S corporation. You  
must allocate the loan proceeds and the related interest expense  
among all the assets of the entity. You can use any reasonable  
method.  
For interest allocated to trade or business assets (or expendi-  
tures), report the interest on a separate line of your Schedule E,  
Part II. Enter "business interest" and the name of the partner-  
ship or S corporation in column (a) and the amount in column  
(i).  
Part IV  
For interest allocated to passive activity use, enter the inter-  
est on Form 8582 as a deduction from the passive activity of  
the partnership or S corporation. Show any deductible amount  
on a separate line on your Schedule E, Part II. Enter "passive  
interest" and the name of the entity in column (a) and the  
amount in column (g).  
Income or Loss From Real Estate Mortgage  
Investment Conduits (REMICs)  
If you are the holder of a residual interest in a REMIC, use Part  
IV to report your total share of the REMIC's taxable income or  
loss for each quarter included in your tax year. You should re-  
ceive Schedule Q (Form 1066) and instructions from the RE-  
MIC for each quarter. Do not attach Schedule(s) Q to your re-  
turn. Keep it for your records.  
For interest allocated to investment use, enter the interest on  
Form 4952. Carry any deductible amount allocated to royalties  
to a separate line of your Schedule E, Part II. Enter "investment  
interest" and the name of the entity in column (a) and the  
amount in column (i). Carry the balance of the deductible  
amount to Schedule A, line 9.  
If you are treating REMIC items on your tax return differ-  
ently from the way the REMIC reported them on its return, you  
may have to file Form 8082.  
Any interest allocated to proceeds used for personal purpo-  
ses is generally not deductible.  
If you are the holder of a residual interest in more than one  
REMIC, attach a continuation sheet using the same format as  
in Part IV. Enter the combined totals of columns (d) and (e) on  
Schedule E, line 39. If you also completed Part I on more than  
one Schedule E, use the same Schedule E on which you entered  
the combined totals in Part I.  
For more information on allocating and reporting these in-  
terest expenses, see Notice 88-37 in Cumulative Bulletin  
1988-1. Also, see Notice 89-35 in Cumulative Bulletin 1989-1.  
Owners of S corporation stock and debt. If you report a  
loss, receive a distribution, dispose of stock, or receive a loan  
repayment from an S corporation, you must check the box in  
column (e) on line 28 and attach the required basis computa-  
tion. For more information, see Basis rules for S corporations,  
earlier.  
REMIC income or loss is not income or loss from a passive  
activity.  
Note. If you are the holder of a regular interest in a REMIC,  
do not use Schedule E to report the income you received. In-  
stead, report it on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 2b.  
Column (c). Report the total of the amounts shown on Sched-  
ule(s) Q, line 2c. This is the smallest amount you are allowed  
to report as your taxable income (Form 1040, 1040-SR, or  
1040-NR, line 15). It is also the smallest amount you are al-  
lowed to report as your alternative minimum taxable income  
(AMTI) on Form 6251, line 4.  
Part III  
Income or Loss From Estates and Trusts  
If you are a beneficiary of an estate or trust, use Part III to re-  
port your part of the income (even if not received) or loss. You  
should receive a Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) from the fiduciary.  
Your copy of Schedule K-1 and its instructions will tell you  
where on your return to report the items from Schedule K-1.  
Do not attach Schedule K-1 to your return. Keep it for your re-  
cords.  
If the amount in column (c) is larger than your taxable in-  
come would otherwise be, enter the amount from column (c)  
on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 15. Similarly, if the  
amount in column (c) is larger than your AMTI would other-  
wise be, enter the amount from column (c) on Form 6251,  
line 4. Enter “Sch Q” on the dotted line to the left of this  
amount on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 15; and  
Form 6251, line 4, if applicable.  
If you are treating items on your tax return differently from  
the way the estate or trust reported them on its return, you may  
have to file Form 8082.  
Note. These rules also apply to estates and trusts that hold a  
residual interest in a REMIC. Be sure to make the appropriate  
entries on the comparable lines on Form 1041.  
If you have estimated taxes credited to you from a trust  
(Schedule K-1 (Form 1041), box 13, code A), enter “ES pay-  
ment claimed” and the amount on the dotted line next to  
E-12  
Do not include the amount shown in column (c) in the  
total on Schedule E, line 39.
