8582 - Why am I seeing this?

[masciajames]

I've filled out all my tax info, and when I run the review, it keeps erroring and showing this form 8582 (Passive Activity Loss Limitations).

I have no losses, and I own no rental property (or any real-estate other than my house). There is NOTHING for me to put in here, so, I don't know why I'd need to file this... or what I am supposed to put in it. 

The box that is erroring is the "Activity" box under "Summary of Federal/State Income/Loss Adjustments Worksheet. It's blank at the moment, as are all the boxes next to it where values are supposed to go in. I've tried filling it out and just putting an N/A and a string of 0's in the other boxes, but it is still erroring. 

Can someone help me and tell me what I'm supposed to put in here?

Assuming you have no passive activity losses in the current year, and none to carryover from prior years, then it would appear that Form 8582 is not necessary and thus, deleting it may resolve the issue you are having with Form 8582.  Follow these steps to delete Form 8582.

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Here is a link to a TurboTax article discussing how to delete a form which you also may find helpful.

Yeah... okay... so I've deleted this form several times. Everytime I go to run the check and file... it comes back. I have NOTHING to put in here and I can't enter 0s apparently. So... please help.

Some TurboTax customers are experiencing an issue when completing the review of their taxes. When reviewing their tax information, Form 8582 is generated with a message stating “??Check this entry - Form 8582: Activity description - This form is not ready to be filed due a change in the federal form. It should be available soon.”

We’re currently working to resolve this inconvenient issue. 

When the form is ready and TurboTax has updated it's system you will be able to file your return.  You will need to check back in a few days to attempt to file your return.
