Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Understood, thanks!  My point I guess is that it would be helpful if TT said something like....

 

Put "Box 1 Business Income passive losses" in Box 1 Ordinary Income.  Put "carryover losses which run through the 1040" in Box 2a Ordinary Income.  You know, a little explanation would be great rather than the assumption that the customer knows what you've just explained to me.

 

Now that you've mentioned it, I'm curious about Box 2a Ordinary Income carryover losses.  Where would I find those on the K-1 or in the historical tax filings?  How should I know if I have any of these partnership carryover losses that run through the 1040?
