Deduction of suspended passive losses from rental property on nonpassive income

We sold a rental property in early 2021. TurboTax has carried forward our suspended passive losses accumulated since 2006 totaling $174K. TurboTax seems to be deducting the full amount of the losses from our combined (married, filing jointly) taxable non-passive income (e.g., wages) with no cap or phase-out. Is there something we should be doing to limit this deduction?

Deduction of suspended passive losses from rental property on nonpassive income

The passive loss would be applied to any profit on the sale, not to your ordinary income. 

Did the sale of the rental result in a capital loss? 

3,000 capital loss can be applied again ordinary income. 

 

Did you enter the sale in the TurboTax program? Did you report prior year depreciation for recapture?
