Just-Lisa-Now, thank you, thank you, thank you.  The key to the program doing the whole passive activity loss and loss on the sale of the rental property was that Box H on the Schedule E Worksheet.  That did it!  I guess I have never had a client in this particular predicament with the passive losses and sale combined.  Thanks again!

Did you sell it from the asset entry worksheet?

4797 Part 1 should show sales price, depreciation, cost basis and the end result...are you saying some of the figures are wrong?

What EXACTLY are the numbers showing up in columns (d), (e) and (f) on the 4797?

Do any of those numbers seem wrong compared with what you have on the Asset Entry Worksheet?

d, e, and f are all correct, yet g shows -0-.  It should show a loss of 10,506.
