The IRS is requesting a Form 8592. What is this and how does it apply to my return.  When my return was submitted (e-filed) everything was supposedly okay.

    Form 8592 is for Passive Activity Loss Limitations. It is mostly used for rental real estate losses which are passive in nature. 

     

    I would check to see if you have a Form 8592 in your current tax return.

    I found that the IRS doesn't even know what this form is. They can't locate it in their database.

    Did you receive a letter from the IRS requesting Form 8592? If that is the correct number, please call the IRS to inquire about the form and instructions for completing it. Please see How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)? for information.
