Form 1040 schedule D : Stating Capital Loss and Gain

Form 8582 – Passive Activity Loss Limitations is used to calculate the amount of any passive activity loss that a taxpayer can take in a given year.

Generally, passive activity losses are limited for income tax purposes because passive activity losses can only be offset by passive activity income. However exceptions apply for certain rental real estate activities and additional limitations apply to publicly traded partnerships (PTP). If a taxpayer's passive losses are limited in the current year, the losses can be carried forward until the passive loss is used or until the activity that generated the passive loss is sold or otherwise disposed. TaxSlayer Pro will automatically carryover any unused passive loss until used.

There are two kinds of passive activities.

Trade or business activities in which the taxpayer did not materially participate during the year.

Rental activities, even if the taxpayer materially participate in them, unless the taxpayer is a real estate professional. If the taxpayer did materially participates in the rental activity they are permitted to use a limited amount of any passive losses based on the modified adjusted gross income of the taxpayer. No passive loss will be allowed (unless the taxpayer is a real estate professional) if the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income is $150,000 or more ($75,000 or more if married filing separately).
