Thanks, @KrisD15, this is helpful. I went in and redid my answers to the various questions, and Turbotax then completely deleted the property from Turbotax. So now I am confused in a different way--the passive losses have now disappeared, and because the property is no longer listed on my returns, there is no place to put in the passive losses. So there appears to be no way to ever take the passive loss from this property? I don't expect the loss to count towards anything this year, but I should be able to count them against passive income in future years, which I do expect to have at some point. But if there is no place to put them on the return, I don't see how this can be done?
It seems to me that the passive losses for this property should go on Form 8582 even if I don't submit a schedule E for it this year because we are not renting it out this year. But Turbotax does not seem to do this, or permit me to do it manually?
The options in Turbotax appear to be: 1) to correctly check the box that we did not try to rent the property in 2023 which deletes the property from Turbotax, deletes passive losses for this property from Form 8582 (but does remove the Schedule E error for this property), or 2) to put this property manually back into Turbotax but erroneously refuse to check the box that we did not try to rent the property in 2023, in which case Turbotax puts the passive losses back into Form 8582 but also generates a basically empty Schedule E (although without the prior error). For now I have done the latter, but I am concerned that this will somehow cause issues with the IRS, since I shouldn't have a Schedule E for this property at all this year (but I should be able to keep the passive losses in Form 8582)?
There doesn't seem to be a way to keep the passive losses on Form 8582 in Turbotax without having a Schedule E?
