What is Schedule E?
Schedule E reports income and losses from rental real estate, royalties, partnerships (K-1), S corporations (K-1), estates, and trusts. Part I covers rental properties you own directly. Parts II–IV cover pass-through income from partnerships, S corps, and other entities.

How PaisaTax Handles It
- Manually added for rental properties and K-1 pass-through income
- Part I is slotted — one slot per rental property with its own income and expenses
- Part II supports up to 4 K-1 entries for partnerships and S corporations
- Form 4835 integration: Farm rental income from Form 4835 flows to Schedule E Line 40
Common Situations
- Multiple rental properties: Add one Part I slot per property. Each tracks its own income, expenses, and depreciation.
- Partnership K-1: Enter the K-1 amounts in Part II. Ordinary business income flows to Schedule E Line 32.
- Passive activity losses: Rental activities are generally passive. Losses may be limited by the passive activity rules (up to $25,000 allowance for active participants with AGI under $100K).

Info
Schedule E income is not subject to self-employment tax (unlike Schedule C). This makes rental income and K-1 pass-through income different from freelance income for SE tax purposes.
