Client has two rental properties, and plans to put both in an LLC, sole member. Normally this is a disregarded entity. I want to urge her to put each property into a separate LLC. But if she puts them both into the same LLC, how do I keep the rental information separate on Sch E? Put cumulative amounts into one column? Delete the old rental depreciation I had in prior years? Or have her husband as co-owner, so I could file the rentals separately on Form 8825. So far in 2021 (she filed an extension) she put just one into the LLC, so I can probably handle it in 2021.

Do just that.  Disregard it.  Enter it as two properties owned by one person.

In two separate columns on Sch E, use actual street address, no EIN or LLC indicated?

What law school taught you to choose two LLC's?  

(Obviously, not one in California.)

It seems to me recommending a Single Member LLC as an entity is a legal question due to the difference in possible available creditor remedies between a Single and Multi-member LLC. Be careful.
