Stessa Schedule E vs RentLedger
Updated 2026-09-11 · Not tax advice
People look up “Stessa Schedule E” because they already keep a portfolio there and then find the tax package is not on the free plan.
What Stessa publishes
As of September 2026, Stessa’s pricing page puts the accountant tax package / Schedule E on the paid Manage plan (about $12/month billed annually). Essentials is free and includes tracking and bank feeds. Check stessa.com/pricing— plans change.
What RentLedger includes
A calendar-year Schedule E Part I worksheet from books you typed. One column per property. Included with the books. Landlord Studio also gates Schedule E.
What we do not match
Stessa connects to banks and can collect rent. We do not. No Plaid. No e-file. No computed depreciation. If you want the feed, stay there. If you want the CPA file without a paid tax add-on, see a sample.
RentLedger.pro — web books + Schedule E file included, no bank login, for US DIY landlords.
