Get your taxes done using TurboTax

While TurboTax normally transfers carryovers correctly from last year to your current return, it's possible this function wasn't successful for you this year. 

 

Since you were able to confirm the correct carryovers from your prior year return, you may wish to delete the errant carryover amount. You can do this in TurboTax Online, but it's easier with TurboTax Desktop using Forms Mode

 

Passive carryovers are reported on the Schedule E Worksheet for the related property.

 

When you find a number you need to change that is in a black font, right-click the number and choose "Data Source." This will bring up a box with a hyperlink to the form where that number was sourced. If the number is still black on that form, repeat the Data Source + hyperlink to follow the number to the next form.

 

When you reach a number in blue, you can revise that number without creating a form error. Any form with a red exclamation point has an error. Click the Errors icon above the forms list to see an explanation of that error below the form when opened in the large window.

 

Any number in green was imported from last year and should not be changed - unless this is the carryover you need to delete.
