No, if you have no rental property/activity, then you keep the information until you fully dispose of the property through sale. It is not reported on the tax return since you do not have an active rental property.  

 

Yes, you will include it when and if you begin a rental activity and/or until you sell the property. Likewise you will need all depreciation on the building and any asset attached to the rental activity until each one is disposed of which will be a taxable event if sold.

 

What you do need to do is keep the 8582 and all tax return(s), including worksheets that relate to this property.  Those tax records do not carry a 'statute of limitations' as long as they remain attached to any future tax return.
