I have a customer who has 3 rental homes. The property management sent him a 1099 MISC and on LINE 1 (Rents) he showed $26,000. Each rental home (lets say A) had gross income $12000, B had $8000 and C had $6000 which gives $26000 gross income. 

The issue is that each house had its own gross income and each had different deductions (expenses). If I enter 1099 Misc with $26000 then what should I enter on SCHEDULE E LINE 3 (Rents received).

If I enter on line 3 of Schedule E - A $12000, B $8000 and C $6000 I end up with double entry of $26000.

How do you think I should handle this situation. 

Thank you in advance for any help.
