What is form 8582 and how can i remove it because it wont let me move forward?

Form 8582 is used to figure the amount of any passive activity loss.

If this is in your Maryland tax return, our team is working to resolve an error message in some Maryland state returns that give an error message about Form 8582 needing an update, even if there are no passive losses to report.

Has this issue been resolved yet? we are ready to file and this is keeping us from doing so. 

RESOLVE THIS GLITCH PLEASE. People have been waiting 2 weeks. You owe all of us a fee discount. 

Some Maryland 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.”

Hey Turbotax Folks!

Please stop stating that this is a "Maryland issue".  I am from Indiana and am receiving the same message about form 8582.  

Turbotax is stating that I cannot file my State return (via electronic or mail) until update form 8582 is released.  I have been receiving this message since January 24th.  

Please fix the problem.  

I am also having the problem with my Idaho taxes it will not let me move on until the form is released.

Just another Marylander facing the same problem with 8582. I take it that it is a bug in Turbotax  not the IRS tax form. 

I am still encountering this issue after updating this morning.

Form 8582 is used to figure the amount of any passive activity loss, where you are not actively engaged in a business or investment, such as losses from rentals.

If this is in your Maryland tax return, our team is working to resolve an error message in some Maryland state returns that give an error message about Form 8582 needing an update, even if there are no passive losses to report.

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. The filing date for tax year 2021 Maryland state returns was extended to July 15th, 2022.

1. When you get to the Here are your filing options screen
2. Select Change next to your state return
3. On 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.

File State after the Federal is Filed

If this is not a Maryland state return error message, to clarify, please let us know if it is in the federal return or a different state. This will help us investigate the message. If you do not have any passive activity, we would like to take a deeper look at this. It would help to have a diagnostic file, which is a sanitized copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed but has all of the forms and numbers entered.
