I have a rental property for only 2 years. Last year I had a loss of -2,041 and this year I have a gain of 41. I entered information on this property in TurboTax online 2025 in "Rental properties and royalties" section, answered all questions asked and TurboTax appeared to be happy with it at that time. However, during Federal return checks it displayed some extremely confusing error "qbi passive op loss must be entered". No context was provided. The error kept reappear and I entered a bunch of numbers, some 0s and some -2000. After printing my return, it turned out those are probably related to so called "Schedule E Worksheet -- Smart Worksheet", "Carryovers to 2025 Smart Worksheet". Apparently, TurboTax entered all those random numbers to pre-2024 years on that worksheet. Since this rental simply did not exist before 2024, obviously all those previous years entries should be 0. But I am not able to figure out how to get rid of those entries. TurboTax only asked me for these entries during Federal return checks and now the check simply passes. I cannot figure out how I can remove those invalid entries.
Two questions:
1) Does anyone have any idea how to correct this worksheet?
2) Should I even bother, because those pre-2024 entries seem to have 0 effect on anything because 2024 qbi loss carryover amount seem to be correctly set to -2,041 and that's what is used in 2025?
