Applying previous year Disallowed Passive Loss to current year as allowed passive loss

[MPG2025]

Can I apply a 2019 Disallowed Passive Loss return (Schedule E carryover worksheet from previous years) as an allowed NOL in my 2024 return (carryover worksheet line 14a)?  I had forgotten about it and read it may be possible to apply previous losses to later years, but the terms “Disallowed” and “allowed” have me thinking I cannot apply it.

You can use it offset passive income, if you have any, but you can't use it to offset non-passive income or investment income.

Thank you so much for the quick reply! Being it was a originally from our rental and now being reapplied to the same rental I believe it will be passive originally and now again. So I should be OK! Thanks so much this is a great news!
