I live in Texas and own a rental property in CA. I have a passive activity real estate rental loss that I am not able to take on my federal taxes (-$30K) since my MAGI is over $150,000 (married filing jointly). In Section B, line 5, Column A, I understand that I need to enter 0, which is the same number I am reporting from my federal form 1040. I am confused if I should enter 0 in column E for CA amounts or the -$30K passive activity loss in column E. Since I have a loss attributed to the property and it is located in CA, I'm thinking I need to enter the passive activity loss of -$30K even if I can't deduct from my federal taxes. Which number should I enter? I appreciate any guidance or help!
