Federal form 8582 (passive activity loss limitations) correctly shows prior unallowed loss on Line 1c, but california form 3801 (passive activity loss) has 0 on line 1C.

If you have passive loss carryovers for Calif purposes from 2016 on an activity you should make sure that such amounts are entered in the TT/Calif activity. Go to that activity (rental, k-1, etc.) and Edit it. You will be asked if you have any carryovers associated with that activity. Select Yes and you will then have the opportunity to enter them.

Those amounts are transferred from your prior year TT/Calif return but you must enter them if using TT for the first time.

I have the same issue as the original poster. I did enter hte passive loss already into the Rental Section, and yet 3801 still don't show correctly. Anyone have a solution?
