Rental income classified as non passive so I don't get the $25,000 deduction

I have several "passive" rental properties on my taxes with income. Turbo Tax identified the income for only 2 properties as NPA non passive income and reduced my $25,000 deduction. I checked my answers to make sure they were identified as passive with active participation. What could be the reason for this? The 2 properties are land.

See if this thread explains it. but classifying as non-passive with income means it won't affect the deductibility of losses from other passive rental activities. However, there is an Adjusted Gross Income limitation ($150K) for passive rental real estate losses with active participation (PRRELWAP) so review form 8582. go over the $150K AGI limit and you get no deduction for PRRELWAP
