K1 with passive real estate losses

Hi,

 

I have a K1 for a real estate partnership and Turbotax doesn't appear to be able to handle it correctly from what I can tell.  Here's my scenario:

1) Box 2 shows a loss (call it -15,000)

2) Box 5 shows a small gain on interest (call it 2,000)

3) Statement A shows 4 pass-thru entities which comprise the losses, along with some values for UBIA of qualified property, W-2 wages, and other deductions

 

So my three questions are:

1) no-matter what I enter, it doesn't seem that the loss on box 2 goes anywhere.  It's my understanding its supposed to go the Schedule E.  Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong?

2) for the statement A items (pass-thru entities), it's my understanding I need to create multiple K1s in turbotax to handle this from other postings.  But, I don't see how I can easily do this as I would have to have values for all the K1 form items per entity, which I don't have.  Is there any reason I can't just sum all the items for the pass thru entities and report as one thing?  I would assume that would have the same net effect.

3) Even if I do input the Statement A items (like with my first question), it doesn't seem that the data results in any effect on my taxes.

 

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

K1 with passive real estate losses

real estate losses are subject to the passive activity rules. generally, PAL losses are only deductible against PAL income.  Two exceptions a real estate professional is not subject to these PAL rules second if not a REP, then if you actively participate your loss would be deductible but only if your modified adjusted gross income is unner $150.,00 (1/2 this if MFS) see form 8582
