Why is my property manager sending me a 1099?

January 15, 2020

Why is my property manager sending me a 1099 form? This is a question we get from time to time and while not everyone agrees on the same answer it is, in fact, a necessary evil. At least for now.

 

Rental income reporting.

We know that no one really likes “tax time” and certainly not having to claim more income than they have to because it means owing the IRS more at times. Even so, it is income that must be reported somehow, to someone right? Oh, we wish it was that simple too but in the years spanning from 2010 and 2012, the verbiage used by Congress has made this issue even more controversial. Owning a rental property is considered a business in the eyes of the IRS. Or is it? This is the line that has yet to 100% be defined by Congress.

What is a 1099 MISC form?

To report rental income we provide our clients with a 1099 MISC form provided by the IRS. The purpose of this form is to report any rental income in excess of $600 in a year. However, it is still up for debate whether owning a rental is considered a “business” because owning a business implies that you are doing something for profit. What if this has no profit just yet? Well, there lays the gray line. Forbes published a great article written by a nationally recognized tax professional that explains in-depth the confusion behind the argument about reporting rental income. You can read the full article here.

In the end, we, as a business are required to report the rental income we collect on a client’s behalf.  We recommend talking with your accountant about how this form is used.
