Investors & landlords

Critter-3,

The form 8582 is just to establish upper limitations of the deduction. I do not see specific instructions where the entry to line 22 (deductible rental real estate loss) of Schedule E should be taken from.  The only one from Schedule E instructions is: " You may need to complete Form 8582 to figure the amount of loss, if any, to enter on line 22."
