Investors & landlords

What you want you cannot do ... you are misinformed.   The Sch E was correct so no form 8582 is or was required.

 

What you may have was an NOL on the return (not just the Sch E) and that is what you need to carry forward.

 

Beginning in 2018, the election to forego the carryback period only applies to farm losses and insurance companies.

 

You can calculate your NOL on the Worksheets in Publication 536.

TurboTax does not support Form 1045, but the form is necessary (for farm losses and insurance companies) for NOLs arising before 2018 to apply for a refund.

 

It may be necessary to file Form 461 if the NOL exceeds a certain amount.
