Question Regarding Form 8582 Passive Activity Loss

Hi,

I have been using an accounting firm for tax preparation over the past four years due to my limited confidence in handling rental property taxes. However, this year, I have decided to use TurboTax (TT) instead, as the cost of tax preparation has increased significantly.

 

My question relates to Form 8582 – Passive Activity Loss. I have a loss of $9,584 (reported in Part IV of Form 8582 in last year 2023 tax), but I do not have any worksheets related to Form 8582 from my previous accountant.

 

In TurboTax, I need to determine the loss carryover amount for my rental properties ($9,581), but I am unsure which category it falls under:

  • Schedule E – Regular Tax Carryovers
  • Schedule E – Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Carryovers
  • Schedule E – Qualified Business Income (QBI) Carryover

Could you please clarify which category this should be reported under?

Thank you for your help!
