The application of a passive carryover loss for a California rental property is shown on the California Schedule E Worksheet under the Activity Summary Smart Worksheet. Passive carryover losses appear on Line G of that worksheet. You may wish to review this worksheet for the tax return in question to verify the loss was applied correctly.
Also check the Carryover to 2024 Smart Worksheet at the bottom of the CA Sch E Worksheet to determine if there was a passive loss carryover for tax year 2024.
If that loss wasn't carried over to the current year Sch E Worksheet, you can manually enter this on the current year worksheet (Carryovers to 2024 Smart Worksheet, Line G). This can be done in TurboTax Desktop using Forms Mode.
