Triggering Decedent's Passive Losses

drbdrb
Level 3

Generally, a decedent's passive losses in the year of death and passive loss carryovers may be used to offset non-passive income on his or her final return. Simply identifying a date of death in the Client Information screen doesn't trigger application of these losses and I do not see a check box anywhere in screen 14.1. Is there a place where this can be identified? Thank you.

In the input for the activity tied to those losses, enter 2=delete next year in the general information. That disposes of the property and should free up the losses. 


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
