Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Form 8252 would be tied to the rental schedule E and it should be included in your return every year you have passive losses or passive loss carryforwards from other years. It would be best to leave the schedule E in your program and just go to each asset and indicate that you took them out of service. When you update the rental property there is an option to say you converted it to personal use, if you choose that option it may preserve the Form 8252 and stop the depreciation entries on schedule E, then you wouldn't have to visit each asset and indicate that they were taken out of service. When you sell the rental property you will need the asset information to report properly the gain of sale of it.  You can use the passive losses against passive income from other rental properties and other passive activities.
