Investors & landlords
The program might let you enter 0 rental and 0 personal, but you would then be reporting that you DO have a rental property. You DON'T have a rental property, so there should NOT be a Schedule E showing a rental.
The program is faulty and won't let you continue to report the passive loss on 8582 without the Schedule E.
I suspect that most people just don't file the required 8582 during those years, but that is wrong and could potentially lead to problems in the future.
You could file the 0/0 Schedule E in order to keep filing the 8582; even though that is wrong, that might be the lesser of two wrongs. Because you have a second rental property, this is your better option (the best option is to use different software that actually does it correctly).
