rental property passive carryover loss doesn’t offset my rental income

first time using  turbotax.   trying to populate passive loss carryover figures from previous years to offset rental property income. 

turbotax gives me 3 options. 

1. regular tax : if i put the amount here, it offsets my non passive gains which is not what i want. 

2. amt tax : i don’t have any previous year forms stating any amt info about my rental loss. if i try to put the amount here, it does not offset the income i have from my rental. 

3. QBI : not relevant to me. 

 

so bottom line , it seems that there is no way to use the unallowed carry over losses from previous years in order to offset any income i have from my rental property. 

What am i missing here?
