I had my taxes done with a cpa last year and I have a rental property. they filed form 8582 (passive activity loss limit) last year. how do i know if i need it this yr?

The program will compute the form 8582 automatically ... make sure you enter in the loss carryforward from the 2018 form in the Rental section when prompted. 

I am having a similar issue. I do have a 2018 loss to carry over for 2 properties but can't seem to find the prompt to enter it.  I went into the "form" view and see where it goes, but it doesn't allow me to type it there.  Do you know what section the prompt is under?

Go back to the Rental input section ...
