I need to delete a carryover

I have a client that had a rental with a NOL.  They no longer rent the house, their son moved in. I deleted the Schedule E but I can't get rid of the carryover. Any suggestions

You keep them somewhere on a schedule or what ever so they don't disapear, (You also need to print out your last depreciation schedule and do the same with that). The taxpayer will need to keep track of both those pieces of information until they either sell the property or die. 

 

If they sell the house before they die, they will get the passive losses then (or possibly sooner if they end up with something creating passive income). I am pretty sure, if they die, the passive loss is lost, but the step up basis does happen in the property, and then you no longer have to worry about prior depreciation.

What kind of carryover is it?  A rental loss is different than a NOL.  Is it a Passive Loss Carryover?

It’s a rental loss.

Passive loss carryover

NOLs arent attached to the rental itself, if you mean suspended losses, you dont get rid of those just because they stopped renting it.

I thought the loss was gone once the rental activity stoped. They did not sale the home.
