Depreciation recapture

As a passive investor, can passive ordinary income losses accumulated from depreciation be used to offset taxes related to depreciation recapture upon sale of real estate investment?

For example, assume a $25,000 real estate investment purchased 5 years ago, which has been depreciated by $20,000 to a value of $5000. Let's also assume $20,000 of passive losses have been carried over for multiple years due to lack of passive income. If property is sold for $40,000, the gain would be $35,000 when accounting firm depreciation recapture. Can the $20,000 of passive losses be used to offset this gain?

Also, where do I enter the net operating loss carryover amounts on TurboTax? Does TurboTax enter this automatically from year to year or does this need to be entered manually every year?

Suspended passive losses are released upon a sale to an unrelated third party in a fully taxable transaction.

Net operating losses must be calculated and entered into TurboTax each year.
