Deductions & credits
The $1000 loss is not coincidence - all four numbers are referring to the same loss.
You are limited to how much you can deduct from the losses on a rental property. In 2021 (or in an earlier year) you lost money on your rental house. You deducted the loss but you had actually lost $1000 more than you deducted on your tax return.
So that $1000 just floats forward with you, from year to year, until you make some money on the rental and then you get to deduct the loss. Or until you sell the house. Whichever comes first.
AMT stands for "Alternative Minimum Tax". It is designed to prevent people who have a ton of deductions from avoiding taxes altogether. So the AMT loss that you are showing is only useful to the system if you were to trigger this alternative tax by having too many deductions.
The first two - regular tax carryovers and AMT carryovers - both get that $1000 we've been talking about. It's the same number but enter it in both places.
The QBI number stays as zero unless you are a real estate professional or dedicate at least 250 hours a year to rental property activities in which case the $1000 goes in the QBI section too.
