What is Schedule E used to report?

Schedule E is used to report supplemental income and losses from sources where the income passes through to you rather than being taxed at the entity level. It covers income and expenses from rental real estate, royalties, and your share of income or loss from partnerships, S corporations, and LLCs that are treated as pass-through entities. When you’re dealing with partnerships, S corporations, or LLCs, you typically receive a Schedule K-1 that shows your portion of the entity’s income or loss, which you then report on Schedule E. Wages and salaries come from Form W-2 and are reported on your main tax return, not Schedule E. Self-employment income is reported on Schedule C (and the associated self-employment tax on Schedule SE), not on Schedule E. Capital gains are reported on Schedule D.
