Is rent considered ordinary income?

Yes it is taxed as ordinary income and the net rental income is reported on page 1 line 17 of the 1040 tax form. Your net rental income is added to all of your other gross worldwide income and taxed as ordinary income at your marginal tax rate on your 1040 income tax return. Your gross passive rental income and expenses are reported on the schedule E of the 1040 tax form. Nonpasive gross rental income and expenses are reported on the schedule C of the 1040 tax form. The difference is that you do not need to pay Social Security on Rental Income.

Is a 1099-C debt forgiven from a real estate short sale taxed and considered as earned income or passive income due to it being Real Estate Rental loss?

Pursuant to the instructions in IRS Publication 4681 income reported on form 1099-C from debt forgiveness is reported on line 3 of schedule E if the debt has to do with non-farm rental real estate. This is the same line you use for rental income. So I believe the answer is that it would be considered passive income from rental real estate absent an election to be considered a real estate professional under IRC 469(c)(7).
