    Rights to drill

    My new client gets 5K a yr for the rights to drill on his property. He calls it "rent" but I don't think it is truly rent.

    Can't this go on "other income?"

    Mineral Rights?

    I think this can get really complicated, really fast...

    You may be getting into a minefield.

    Or an oilfield. [LMAO]

        The code ( I dont have the number in front of me) is very specific on these payments.
        It must be reported on Sch E as rents.

          Either way, you're outstanding in your field.

              Drilling

              Does this mean that a dentist also has to report income on Schedule E?

                  Difficult clients...

                  Well, sometimes getting all the needed information from a client is like pulling teeth...

                    Yes, I understand.
                    They give us partial information and expect us to fill in the gaps.

                      Most of the time the partial causes us to bridge...
