Yes - Rental losses are usually classified as "passive losses" for tax purposes, with two exceptions: you or your spouse qualify as a real estate professional, or you "actively participate" in the rental activity. Property owners with modified adjusted gross incomes of $100,000 or less may deduct up to $25,000 in rental real estate losses per year if they "actively participate" in the rental activity. You actively participate if you are involved in meaningful management decisions regarding the rental property and have more than a 10% ownership interest in the property. This allowance is phased out for taxpayers whose MAGI exceeds $100,000 and eliminated entirely when it exceeds $150,000.    You should still be able to access your 2018 returns.  Transferring the information to 2019 does not remove the information from the 2018 return.  Did you use the online or CD/Download version of TurboTax for your 2018 return? ...

You should file a 1040X to include that corrected 1099-DIV.  Otherwise you'll get a letter from the IRS.   If you have already filed your return, you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account, make the changes to your tax return, and re-submit your return. If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in.   IMPORTANT:  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed.
