What I am seeing when I enter my prior year suspended passive loss from rental real estate activity in the Box 2a, is that it gets doubled up. The loss was netted against current year income and shown on Line 1a of Section A as current year gain or loss from ordinary income, and then the entire amount of the loss carryforward is shown again on Line 2a as "ordinary income from recoveries. In Column D, the total loss suspended for the current year amount adds the prior year carryforward to the current year net amount (after applying the carryforward), overstating the current year loss carryforward.
