If we no longer rent our property, do we stop passive loss carryover?

Also, are we allowed to deduct the real estate taxes on the property if we continue to carry over passive loss?

If we no longer rent our property, do we stop passive loss carryover?

When you convert the rental property to personal use (investment property ,includes second home, or primary residence), your passive loss carryovers will stay suspended with the property but cannot be used until you sell the property a fully taxable transaction to an unrelated party. Here's how you enter the conversion:

When in your tax return, under Wages & Income, scroll down to Rental Properties and click on Update

  1. Continue through the next 2 screens and on the 3rd screen click on Edit next to your property
  2. Click on Update next to Property Profile, continue through the next 2 screens 
  3. On the screen Do Any of These Situations Apply to This Property? check the box by I converted this property from a rental to personal use in 2017.
  4. TurboTax will lead through a series of questions to gather the information. When you finish the Property Profile section, skip down to the Asset section and click on Update
  5. Continue through the screens, answering questions until you reach the screen Tell Us More About This Rental Asset, check the box The item was sold, retired, stolen.... and enter the date retired
  6. Just finish any remaining screen, click Done to get out of Rental Section

If we no longer rent our property, do we stop passive loss carryover?

I converted my rental property to personal use in 2016.  When preparing 2017 taxes, I realized I still had the passive activity real estate losses for that property.  I went back to my 2016 TurboTax and followed the steps noted in  this answer (had a number of assets for the property that I did this for).  I did not see the total passive losses carry over to Schedule E line 17 of the 1040 - nothing changed (I wasn't "amending" at this point - just trying it out).  Is this restricted by income level or what could the issue be?  Thanks for the help!

Thanks....but TurboTax Deluxe 2020 no longer asks those questions nor does it allow you to enter your suspended passive losses.  It asks you to sell your converted from rental to second home status thru sale of business property and does not ask you about suspended passive losses.
