It depends. If you entered it as shown below, then you will likely see it on Form 8582 which is where it will go first.

 

Passive Activity Loss Entry:

Assuming your passive losses were carried over each year, this will be a separate and identifiable entry which will carry to the Schedule E.  The full remainder of passive loss carryover is used in the year of sale as an expense. This is combined with your overall rental gain or loss to your Form 1040. 

  • Open your TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop return and go to your rental property > Select Edit beside it and review the Property Profile.
  • When you are on the screen 'Do any of these situations apply to this property?' (Property Profile section), be sure to check the box under Carryovers or the box beside 'I have passive activity real estate losses carried over from a prior year.'
