Rental property tax software: which ones reach a Schedule E
Tax reporting is where landlord software claims diverge most from what the pricing pages actually say. Plenty of products say tax reports and mean a 1099 or an expense summary by category. Fewer say Schedule E. Almost none say anything about depreciation, which is the largest single deduction on most residential returns and the one a spreadsheet is most likely to skip entirely. Here is the state of it, read off the source pages.
Short answer
Of eleven landlord products checked in August 2026, five state a Schedule E report on their pricing page: Baselane (free Core plan), Azibo (free), Landlord Studio (all plans), RentRedi (one-click generation) and Stessa (paid Manage plan at $12/mo billed annually). DoorLoop, Buildium, Rentec Direct and TenantCloud list 1099 or other tax reports but do not state a Schedule E. Almost none publish anything about computing a 27.5-year residential depreciation schedule, which is the line that most often goes unclaimed.
How this was ranked
The criteria, stated up front.
- 01Does the pricing page state a Schedule E report, in those words?
- 02Is it on the entry plan or behind a tier?
- 03Does the page say anything about computing depreciation?
- 04What tax artefact do you actually walk away with?
rents.ai is one of the products in this list and is placed where those criteria put it, which is not first. Prices were read from each vendor's own pricing page, most recently on August 10, 2026, and every entry links its source.

Questions
The questions behind this search.
Which landlord software produces a Schedule E?
As published in August 2026: Baselane on its free Core plan, Azibo on its free platform, Landlord Studio on all plans, RentRedi with one-click generation on all plans, Stessa on the paid Manage plan at $12/mo billed annually, TurboTenant through its accounting product, and rents.ai on both plans. DoorLoop, Buildium, Rentec Direct and TenantCloud list 1099 or other tax reports without stating Schedule E.
Does any landlord software calculate depreciation?
Very few say so on their pricing pages. Baselane lists cost segregation on its $20/mo Smart plan, which is adjacent but not a 27.5-year residential schedule. rents.ai computes it from cost basis, land value and in-service date using the 27.5-year straight-line MACRS mid-month convention and places the result on Schedule E line 18. Where a vendor's page is silent, this page records it as not published rather than as absent.
Is a Schedule E report the same as filing my taxes?
No. All of these products produce records and reports for tax preparation; none of them file a return, and none of this is tax advice. A Schedule E report gives you or your preparer the figures arranged the way Part I of the form is arranged. What varies between products is how much of the arranging you still have to do, and whether the depreciation line arrives computed or blank.
