8582 Pasive loss

Does anyone know when the 8582 will be available

First week of March is all anyone has been told at this point. An email I received this morning stated that "The IRS indicated that a more specific date is expected to be announced as soon as possible."

If it is not required to be attached to your return, you can delete it, and override the loss on Sch E INPUT sheet. Might have to do it a couple times to make it stick. I realize you did not ask about working around the form, and I am doing some assuming.

No these need the loss carry forward. Thanks for the info though

Thanks. I have like 7 of these on hold. None of them have a loss carryover and they seemingly meet all of the other requirements to no need the forum so I believe I can delete it. But why is ATX requiring it if it's not technically needed?

I would say because the number on Sch E gets there by way of some formula that wasn't long enough to allow for the absence of the Form 8582. I was able to e-file mine with the override, hope you are, too, but if I've learned anything this year, it's that everybody's program has a mind of its own.
