This exact problem still exists in the latest TurboTax Desktop Premier 2024 (updated today: October 16, 2025; version: 024 . 000 . 0487, Windows), and it is completely blocking my 2024 filing.
The fact that you cannot even get TurboTax to print IRS 8582 page 3 even when it is the active selected form is very strange -- I've never seen that before with any other form with any other version of TurboTax.
@Lani6, @Rightfield, Did TurboTax ever provide you a technical solution other than generating IRS Form 8582 page 3 manually and paper filing? If you e-filed, did TurboTax confirm whether page 3 actually gets transmitted or did you objectively confirm its transmission by pulling your IRS tax return transcript(s) from your IRS.gov account to see if it includes any info from page 3 (even if properly transmitted, it is possible that detail might not be included in the IRS transcript)? Clearly, this issue was either never fixed completely or a regression was introduced at some point afterwards for TurboTax 2024.
@Lani6, @Rightfield, I think the reason TurboTax adds the "Copy 1" is simply because there can be multiple page 3s depending on how many applicable passive activities you have. It's just sloppy programming when there is only a single page 3. Quoting from the 2024 IRS Form 8582 instructions for Part IX: "Use a separate copy of Part IX for each activity for which you have losses reported on two or more different forms or schedules or which are identified separately on the same form or schedule." I have seen "Copy 1" added to several other forms like IRS Form 1116, but usually only when there are in fact multiple copies of the same form that need to be disambiguated.
