I have passive losses from a real estate LLC's going back a number of years. It seems turbotax generated an 8582 only for the 2 years that I answered no to the question of being an active participant during the K1's interview. In all subsequent years I answered yes that I was an active participant. Turbotax then would not generate an 8582 in these years. It would use my passive losses to reduce my ordinary income (I qualified for this use of passive losses to offset ordinary income). In some years my passive losses were greater than my ordinary income. I do not see where turbotax is carrying forward my unused passive losses from these years. I believe turbotax did not keep track of my unused passive losses in these years. I think it only kept track of my passive losses for the 2 years it generated an 8582. This year I have only capital gains on my K1's. I wanted to use my passive losses from the previous years to offset this year's capital gains. I am hoping there is some way to correct the mess and use my passive losses from the previous years.
Can I manually enter the passive losses in turbotax? Did I have to provide form(s) to the IRS for each year that I had a passive loss carryovers?
