8582 on TurboTax Premier Mac, How to Access?

[zsteir]

On TurboTax Premier Mac 2019, form 8582 seems to be inaccessible. In the interview stage, there are no questions about passive activity losses or special situations where those can be entered (like some answers on how to access the form suggest). When I open the form manually, I cannot edit any of the fields, since TT claims the values are calculated. The same goes for the worksheets for 8582 -- cannot edit them. Any idea how to do this?

I have the same issue. I need to adjust my passive activity losses but the entry fields are missing. I am also using Turbo Tax Premier, all updates applied. I started at the property profile, and checked the box 'I have passive activity  real estate losses from a prior year'. The next screen says 'Your passive loss carryover from 2018 is shown below', but it only shows the table headers, no numbers and no entry fields. There is only a checkbox below for Schedule D or Form 4797 (which works), but that does not apply for my case.  This entry worked fine in last years TT version. Turbo Tax 2019 does not allow changing the form 8582 directly, so currently I'm stuck. Sorry, not really helpful for you, but at least you are not alone with this issue.

I spend several hours on the phone with support on this. The only piece of information worth reporting is that upgrading to Home and Business makes no difference. I was escalated from the first level to a CPA, who spend about 1.5 hours on the phone with me. It took that long because the CPA was messaging with a higher level support who was handling several cases at once. The issue could not be resolved. She promised that they would look into it, and we made an appointment for Sun (2 days ago) at 2PM. She never called back. At this point, it seem like I have to start the whole process over, and ask for my money back. I tried to use TurboTax to save the cost of a CPA, but now I've spend at least 1 full day working on this, so very much not worth it. Would not recommend TT to anyone.

Final report: TT finally called me back, and gave it their best shot. However, they cannot figure out how to enter form 8582, without also entering other forms (like K-1). So, basically, this fairly basic functionality is not available through TurboTax.

Hello, did any of you get pass this?

currently stuck myself and can’t submit my state taxes because of it. It’s saying the 8582 Is current not available but will be soon.  Typically if I had to wait for a form it will state it’ll notify me once the forms available to submit but I get nothing. Even the Experts are not sure.

Thanks in advance

The exact same is happening to me today AND Turbo Tax let me pay for Fed and State efile, took it from my credit card, THEN stated 8582  has changed and it will be available soon.  Soon?  When?  Ready to notify my credit card company and get  refund if TT can not tell me something more.

Wow…

I had finished federal and state then got to that point where it stated issue with form 8582. Being confused I then went back and signed up for Expert Help (the additional fee for that) just to be told by the expert that they’re confused also.

If this message is coming from your Virginia state return, Virginia Form 8582 is currently estimated to be available by February 17th.

The IRS is still finalizing some of their forms and because states depend on the information in the federal return, they often have a delay in some forms at the beginning of the tax season.  After they finalize, of course, TurboTax needs to integrate the changes.

For state forms, select the type of TurboTax you are using and your state, to see when forms are expected. The dates may still change and this link will be updated.

State Tax Forms Availability Dates

Here is a link where you can see estimates for dates the federal forms will be ready. 

IRS Forms Available Estimates

If the federal forms are all finalized and it is ready to e-file, you can choose to file just the federal return at this time, then come back when your state forms are ready and e-file that return.

1. When you get to the Here are your filing options screen
2. Select Change next to your state return
3. On the the Change filing method screen
4. Select I'm not ready to file
5. Click Save 

Note, if you don't e-file them together, you do have to wait until the federal is accepted before you can e-file the state. Sometimes this takes a day or even two.

Here is a TurboTax Help article with directions for when you return to file your state return.
