how to find a way to get ito to record a passive rental real estate loss as passive and not active.
Even though it is Passive income, if their income is under $150,000 and they "Actively Participate", a loss may be allowable (up to $25,000). See lines 1 and 4-11 on Form 8582.
Is that what is happening?
We need more information. You should not need to do anything. Are you doing a Sch E on a 1040? Recording some flavor of K1??
