It would appear you've been a landlord for quite a number of years, and/or have more than one rental property you own. It is not common for long term residential rental real estate to show a profit. In fact, it's more common to show a loss each and every year.
When you add up the deductible expenses of mortgage interest, property taxes, property insurance and the depreciation you're required to take, those four items alone are usually enough to exceed the total rental income received for the tax year. Add to that the other deductible rental expenses such as repairs and maintenance, and you're practically guaranteed to show a loss.
In general, once your passive rental losses gets your passive rental income to zero, that's it. Any remaining losses are just carried over to the next year. So the amount of carry over losses will continue to grow with each passing year. You can't realize those losses until the tax year you sell the property.
Now if you meet the income thresholds, you are allowed to deduct a maximum of $25K of those excess rental losses from your other ordinary income. But if your AGI is to high, that won't be allowed. If you don't have enough taxable income to claim the $25K excess lost against, then any difference will also be carried forward.
Based on the limited information provided thus far, I see nothing wrong here at all.
rental property lost is $18,820 but in the next line,
Without knowing what line numbers on the SCH E (or whatever form/worksheet) you're referring to, it's not possible to base my above response on known facts as they pertain to your specific and explicit situation.
