Is anyone else stuck on their federal return at the Schedule E worksheet, passive operating loss entry? It seems like this figure should be automatically generated. Help?

Please clarify the exact error message you are seeing with regards to passive operating losses. Also, which version of TurboTax are you using? Online or Desktop?

Here is the problem/bug that needs to be fixed:

Check This Entry

Schedule E Worksheet <name of property here>: Passive Operating Loss...sum of losses in individual years should not be greater than the total loss (-$3508.).

Passive Operating Loss: <there is a box here to input a number>

I have tried putting every number under the sun in the box. Nothing works.

Please please fix this bug so that I can file my taxes soon! Thank you!

I am using QB Online.

I ended up entering a zero in the box and that worked.
