Instructions for Form 8582
Passive Activity Loss Limitations
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code
unless otherwise noted.
PALs can’t be used to offset income from nonpassive
activities. However, a special allowance for rental real
estate activities may allow some losses even if the losses
exceed passive income.
Future Developments
For the latest information about developments related to
Form 8582 and its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/
PALs not allowed in the current year are carried
forward until they’re allowed either against passive activity
income; against the special allowance, if applicable; or
when you sell or exchange your entire interest in the
activity in a fully taxable transaction to an unrelated party.

and At-Risk Rules.
Prior year unallowed commercial revitalization de-
duction (CRD). If you have prior year unallowed CRDs
limited by the passive loss rules, you may continue to
include them in the calculations as shown in the Specific
Loss, later.
Excess business loss limitation. If you are a
noncorporate taxpayer and have allowable business
losses after taking into account first the at-risk limitations
and then the passive loss limitations (this form), your
losses may be subject to the excess business loss
limitation. After taking into account all the other loss
limitations, complete Form 461, Limitation on Business
Losses, to figure the amount of your excess business
loss. See Form 461 and its instructions for details on the
excess business loss limitation.

must use Form 8810, Corporate Passive Activity Loss and
Credit Limitations.
Who Must File
Form 8582 is filed by individuals, estates, and trusts who
have passive activity deductions (including prior year
unallowed losses). However, you don’t have to file Form

were performed in real property trades or businesses in
which you materially participated, and
b. You performed more than 750 hours of services
during the tax year in real property trades or businesses in
which you materially participated.
Coordination With Other Limitations
Generally, PALs are subject to other limitations (for
example, basis and at-risk limitations) before they’re
subject to the passive loss limitations. Once a loss
becomes allowable under these other limitations, you
must determine whether the loss is limited under the
passive loss rules. See Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations,
for details on the at-risk rules. Also, capital losses that are
allowable under the passive loss rules may be limited
under the capital loss limitations of section 1211.
Percentage depletion deductions that are allowable under
the passive loss rules may be limited under section
613A(d).
For purposes of whether you materially participated
under item (2), each interest in rental real estate is a
separate activity, unless you elect to treat all interests in
rental real estate as one activity. For details on making
this election, see the Instructions for Schedule E (Form
1040).
If you’re married filing jointly, one spouse must
separately meet both (2)(a) and (2)(b) without taking into
account services performed by the other spouse.
If you have allowable business losses after taking into
account the loss limitations discussed above and
computing the allowable passive losses on this form, your
losses may be subject to the excess business loss
limitation. Complete Form 461 to figure the amount of your
excess business loss. Any disallowed loss resulting from
this limitation will be treated as a net operating loss (NOL)
that must be carried forward and deducted in a
A real property trade or business is any real property
development, redevelopment, construction,
reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, rental, operation,
management, leasing, or brokerage trade or business.
Real property includes land, buildings, and other
inherently permanent structures permanently affixed to
land. Any interest in real property, including fee
ownership, co-ownership, leasehold, option, or similar
interest is real property. Tenant improvements to land,
buildings, or other structures that are inherently
permanent or otherwise classified as real property are real
property for this purpose. See Regulations section
1.469-9(b)(2) for more definitions and information about
determining whether a trade or business is a real property
trade or business.
For examples of the determination of whether a trade or
business is a real property trade or business, see
Regulations section 1.469-9(b)(2)(iii).

you owned more than 5% of the stock (or more than 5% of
the capital or profits interest) in the employer.
subsequent year. See Form 461 and its instructions for
details on the excess business loss limitation.
Definitions
Except as otherwise indicated, the following terms in
these instructions are defined as shown below.
Net income. This is the excess of current year income
over current year deductions from the activity. This
includes any current year gains or losses from the
disposition of assets or an interest in the activity.
Net loss. This is the excess of current year deductions
over current year income from the activity. This includes
any current year gains or losses from the disposition of
assets or an interest in the activity.
Overall gain. This is the excess of the “net income” from
the activity over the prior year unallowed losses from the
activity.
Overall loss. This is (a) the excess of the prior year
unallowed losses from the activity over the “net income”
from the activity, or (b) the prior year unallowed losses
from the activity plus the “net loss” from the activity.
Note. If a rental real estate activity isn’t a passive activity
for the current year, any prior year unallowed loss is
treated as a loss from a former passive activity. See
3. A working interest in an oil or gas well. Your working
interest must be held directly or through an entity that
doesn’t limit your liability (such as a general partner
interest in a partnership). In this case, it doesn’t matter
whether you materially participated in the activity for the
tax year.
If, however, your liability was limited for part of the year
(for example, you converted your general partner interest
to a limited partner interest during the year), some of your
income and losses from the working interest may be
treated as passive activity gross income and passive
activity deductions. See Temporary Regulations section
1.469-1T(e)(4)(ii).
4. The rental of a dwelling unit you used as a
residence if section 280A(c)(5) applies. This section
applies if you rented out a dwelling unit that you also used
as a home during the year for a number of days that
exceeds the greater of 14 days or 10% of the number of
days during the year that the home was rented at a fair
rental.
Prior year unallowed losses. These are the losses from
an activity that were disallowed under the PAL limitations
in a prior year and carried forward to the tax year under
section 469(b). See Regulations section 1.469-1(f)(4) and
Pub. 925.
Activities That Are Not Passive
Activities
The following aren’t passive activities.
1. Trade or business activities in which you materially
participated for the tax year.
2. Any rental real estate activity in which you materially
participated if you were a “real estate professional” for the
tax year. You were a real estate professional only if:
a. More than half of the personal services you
performed in trades or businesses during the tax year
-2-
Instructions for Form 8582 (2023)
5. An activity of trading personal property for the
account of owners of interests in the activity. For purposes
of this rule, personal property means property that’s
actively traded, such as stocks, bonds, and other
securities. See Temporary Regulations section
1.469-1T(e)(6) for more details.
by the ratio of the gross rental income from that class to
the activity's total gross rental income. The activity's
average period of customer use equals the sum of these
class-by-class average periods weighted by gross
income. See Regulations section 1.469-1(e)(3)(iii).
Significant personal services include only services
performed by individuals. To determine if personal
services are significant, all relevant facts and
circumstances are taken into consideration, including the
frequency of the services, the type and amount of labor
required to perform the services, and the value of the
services relative to the amount charged for use of the
property.
Generally, income and losses from these activities
aren’t entered on Form 8582. However, losses from these
activities may be subject to limitations other than the
passive loss rules.
Trade or Business Activities
A trade or business activity is an activity (other than a
rental activity or an activity treated as incidental to an
activity of holding property for investment) that:
2. Extraordinary personal services were provided in
making the rental property available for customer use.
This applies only if the services are performed by
individuals and the customers' use of the property is
incidental to their receipt of the services.
1. Involves the conduct of a trade or business (within
the meaning of section 162),
2. Is conducted in anticipation of starting a trade or
business, or
3. Rental of the property is incidental to a nonrental
activity.
3. Involves research or experimental expenditures
The rental of property is incidental to an activity of
holding property for investment if the main purpose of
holding the property is to realize a gain from its
appreciation and the gross rental income is less than 2%
of the smaller of the unadjusted basis or the fair market
value (FMV) of the property.
Unadjusted basis is the cost of the property without
regard to depreciation deductions or any other basis
adjustment described in section 1016.
deductible under section 174.
Trade or business activities are generally reported on
Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss From Business
(Sole Proprietorship); Schedule F (Form 1040), Profit or
Loss From Farming; or in Part II or III of Schedule E (Form
1040). For trade or business activities that are significant

business activity if:
A rental activity is a passive activity even if you materially
participated in the activity (unless it’s a rental real estate
activity in which you materially participated and you were
a real estate professional).
a. You own an interest in the trade or business activity
during the tax year,
b. The rental property was mainly used in the trade or
business activity during the tax year or during at least 2 of
the 5 preceding tax years, and
c. The gross rental income from the property is less
than 2% of the smaller of the unadjusted basis or the FMV
of the property.
An activity is a rental activity if tangible property (real or
personal) is used by customers or held for use by
customers and the gross income (or expected gross
income) from the activity represents amounts paid (or to
be paid) mainly for the use of the property. It doesn’t
matter whether the use is under a lease, a service
contract, or some other arrangement.
However, if you meet any of the five exceptions below,
the rental of the property isn’t treated as a rental activity.
later, if you meet any of the exceptions.
Lodging provided for the employer's convenience to an
employee or the employee's spouse or dependents is
incidental to the activity or activities in which the employee
performs services.
4. You customarily make the rental property available
during defined business hours for nonexclusive use by
various customers.
5. You provide property for use in a nonrental activity
of a partnership, S corporation, or a joint venture in your
capacity as an owner of an interest in the partnership, S
corporation, or joint venture.
Example. If a partner contributes the use of property
to a partnership, none of the partner's distributive share of
partnership income is income from a rental activity unless
the partnership is engaged in a rental activity.
Exceptions
An activity is not a rental activity if any of the following
apply.
1. The average period of customer use is:
a. 7 days or less, or
b. 30 days or less and significant personal services
were provided in making the rental property available for
customer use.
Also, a partner's gross income from a guaranteed
payment under section 707(c) isn’t income from a rental
activity. The determination of whether the property used in
the activity is provided in the partner's capacity as an

Special Allowance for Rental Real
Estate Activities
Active participation. If you actively participated in a
passive rental real estate activity, you may be able to
deduct up to $25,000 of loss from the activity from your
nonpassive income. This special allowance is an
exception to the general rule disallowing losses in excess
of income from passive activities.
If your modified adjusted gross income is more than
$100,000 ($50,000 if married filing separately) but less
than $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), your
special allowance is limited to 50% of the difference
between $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately)
and your modified adjusted gross income.
Generally, if your modified adjusted gross income is
$150,000 or more ($75,000 or more if married filing
separately), there is no special allowance.
The special allowance isn’t available if you were
married, are filing a separate return for the year, and lived
with your spouse at any time during the year.
Only an individual, a qualifying estate, or a qualified
revocable trust that made an election to treat the trust as
part of the decedent's estate may actively participate in a
rental real estate activity. Unless future regulations
provide an exception, limited partners are not treated as
actively participating in a partnership's rental real estate
activity.

A qualified revocable trust may elect to be treated as
part of a decedent's estate for purposes of the special
allowance for active participation in rental real estate
activities. The election must be made by both the executor
(if any) of the decedent's estate and the trustee of the
revocable trust. For details, see Regulations section
1.645-1. To make this election, see the instructions on
avoid the disallowance of losses or credits from the
activity under the passive activity rules.
Proof of participation. You may prove your participation
in an activity by any reasonable means. You don’t have to
maintain contemporaneous daily time reports, logs, or
similar documents if you can establish your participation
-4-
Instructions for Form 8582 (2023)
by other reasonable means. For this purpose, reasonable
means include, but are not limited to, identifying services
performed over a period of time and the approximate
number of hours spent performing the services during that
period, based on appointment books, calendars, or
narrative summaries.
Tests for individuals. You materially participated for the
tax year in an activity if you satisfy at least one of the
following tests.
an interest in the activity and whether or not you and your
spouse file a joint return for the tax year.
Tests for investors. Work done as an investor in an
activity isn’t treated as participation unless you were
directly involved in the day-to-day management or
operations of the activity. For purposes of this test, work
done as an investor includes the following.
1. Studying and reviewing financial statements or
reports on operations of the activity.
1. You participated in the activity for more than 500
2. Preparing or compiling summaries or analyses of
the finances or operations of the activity for your own use.
hours.
2. Your participation in the activity for the tax year was
substantially all of the participation in the activity of all
individuals (including individuals who didn’t own any
interest in the activity) for the year.
3. You participated in the activity for more than 100
hours during the tax year, and you participated at least as
much as any other individual (including individuals who
didn’t own any interest in the activity) for the year.
4. The activity is a significant participation activity for
the tax year, and you participated in all significant
participation activities during the year for more than 500
hours.
A significant participation activity is any trade or
business activity in which you participated for more than
100 hours during the year and in which you didn’t
materially participate under any of the material
participation tests (other than this fourth test).
3. Monitoring the finances or operations of the activity
in a nonmanagerial capacity.
Special rules for limited partners. If you were a limited
partner in an activity, you generally didn’t materially
participate in the activity. You did materially participate in
the activity, however, if you met material participation test
year.
However, for purposes of the material participation
tests, you aren’t treated as a limited partner if you also
were a general partner in the partnership at all times
during the partnership's tax year ending with or within your
tax year (or, if shorter, during the portion of the
partnership's tax year in which you directly or indirectly
owned your limited partner interest).
Special rules for certain retired or disabled farmers
and surviving spouses of farmers. Certain retired or
disabled farmers and surviving spouses of farmers are
treated as materially participating in a farming activity if
the real property used in the activity would meet the estate
tax rules for special valuation of farm property passed
from a qualifying decedent. See Temporary Regulations
section 1.469-5T(h)(2).
Estates and trusts. The PAL limitations apply in figuring
the distributable net income and taxable income of an
estate or trust. The rules for determining material
participation for this purpose haven’t yet been issued.
5. You materially participated in the activity (other than
by meeting this fifth test) for any 5 (whether or not
consecutive) of the 10 immediately preceding tax years.
6. The activity is a personal service activity in which
you materially participated for any 3 (whether or not
consecutive) preceding tax years.
An activity is a personal service activity if it involves the
performance of personal services in the fields of health,
law, engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial
science, performing arts, consulting, or in any other trade
or business in which capital isn’t a material
income-producing factor.
Grouping of Activities
7. Based on all the facts and circumstances, you
participated in the activity on a regular, continuous, and
substantial basis during the tax year.
You didn’t materially participate in the activity under this
seventh test, however, if you participated in the activity for
100 hours or less during the tax year.
Your participation in managing the activity doesn’t
count in determining whether you materially participated
under this test if:
Generally, one or more trade or business activities or
rental activities may be treated as a single activity if the
activities make up an appropriate economic unit for the
measurement of gain or loss under the passive activity
rules.
Whether activities make up an appropriate economic
unit depends on all the relevant facts and circumstances.
The factors given the greatest weight in determining
whether activities make up an appropriate economic unit
are:
a. Any person (except you) received compensation for
performing services in the management of the activity, or
1. Similarities and differences in types of trades or
b. Any individual spent more hours during the tax year
performing services in the management of the activity
than you did (regardless of whether the individual was
compensated for the management services).
businesses,
2. The extent of common control,
3. The extent of common ownership,
4. Geographical location, and
Test for a spouse. Participation by your spouse during
the tax year in an activity you own may be counted as your
participation in the activity even if your spouse didn’t own
5. Interdependencies between or among the activities.
Example. You have a significant ownership interest in
a bakery and a movie theater in Baltimore and in a bakery

and a movie theater in Philadelphia. Depending on all the
relevant facts and circumstances, there may be more than
one reasonable method for grouping your activities. For
instance, the following groupings may or may not be
permissible.

A partner or shareholder may not treat as separate
activities those activities grouped together by the
partnership or corporation.

A Baltimore activity and a Philadelphia activity.
Four separate activities.
Regrouping Due to Net Investment Income Tax
You may be able to regroup your activities, as described
below, if you’re subject to the Net Investment Income Tax
(NIIT) for the first time. For detailed information, see
Regulations section 1.469-11(b)(3)(iv).
Once you choose a grouping under these rules, you
must continue using that grouping in later tax years unless
it’s determined that the original grouping was clearly
inappropriate or a material change in the facts and
circumstances makes it clearly inappropriate.
Regrouping on an original return. Under the NIIT fresh
start election, you may regroup for the first tax year you’re
subject to the NIIT (without regard to the effect of
regrouping). You may regroup only once under this
election and that regrouping will apply to the tax year for
which you regroup and all future tax years. You’re eligible
to regroup if:
The IRS may regroup your activities if your grouping
fails to reflect one or more appropriate economic units and
one of the primary purposes of your grouping is to avoid
the passive activity limitations.
Limitation on grouping certain activities. The
1. You weren’t previously subject to the NIIT;
following activities may not be grouped together.
2. The amount you would have entered on Form 8960,
line 12, without the regrouping, would have been greater
than zero; and
3. The amount you would have entered on Form 8960,
line 13, without the regrouping, would have been greater
than the amount you would have entered on Form 8960,
line 14, without the regrouping.
1. A rental activity with a trade or business activity
unless the activities being grouped together make up an
appropriate economic unit and:
a. The rental activity is insubstantial relative to the
trade or business activity or vice versa, or
b. Each owner of the trade or business activity has the
same proportionate ownership interest in the rental
activity. If so, the portion of the rental activity involving the
rental of property used in the trade or business activity
may be grouped with the trade or business activity.
2. An activity involving the rental of real property with
an activity involving the rental of personal property (except
personal property provided in connection with the real
property or vice versa).
Regrouping on an amended return. You may regroup
your activities on an amended tax return, but only if you
weren’t subject to the NIIT on your original return (or
previously amended return). You’re eligible if:
1. You weren’t previously subject to the NIIT for the tax
year for which you’re filing an amended return or any prior
tax year;
2. The changes on the amended return cause you to
be subject to the NIIT for the first time beginning in the
taxable year for which you’re amending the return;
3. Any activity with another activity in a different type
of business and in which you hold an interest as a limited
partner if that other activity engages in holding, producing,
or distributing motion picture films or videotapes; farming;
leasing section 1245 property; or exploring for or
3. The limitation period for assessments under section
6501 hasn’t ended;
exploiting oil and gas resources or geothermal deposits.
4. The changes on your amended return cause the
amount on Form 8960, line 12, of your amended return to
be greater than zero; and
5. The changes on your amended return cause the
amount on Form 8960, line 13, of your amended return to
be greater than the amount entered on Form 8960,
line 14.
4. Any trading activities in which you don't materially
participate. A trading activity is an activity of trading in
personal property. For this purpose, personal property is
any personal property that is actively traded, for example,
financial securities. A taxpayer who does not materially
participate in a trading activity is prohibited from grouping
the activity with any other activity, including any other
trading activity. The prohibition on grouping is effective for
taxable years beginning on or after March 22, 2021. If you
are a calendar year taxpayer, the new provisions first
applied to you in calendar year 2022.
This rule applies equally to changes to modified
adjusted gross income or net investment income upon an
IRS examination.
Manner of regrouping. If you regroup your activities
under this rule, you must attach to your original or
amended return, as applicable, a statement that satisfies

Addition to an existing grouping. You must file a
written statement with your original income tax return for
the tax year in which you add a new activity to an existing
group. The statement must provide the name, address,
and EIN, if applicable, for the activity that’s being added
and for the activities in the existing group. In addition, the
statement must contain a declaration that the activities
make up an appropriate economic unit for the
measurement of gain or loss under the passive activity
rules.
Regrouping. You must file a written statement with your
original income tax return for the tax year in which you
regroup the activities. The statement must provide the
names, addresses, and EINs, if applicable, for the
activities that are being regrouped. If two or more activities
are being regrouped into a single activity, the statement
must contain a declaration that the regrouped activities

measurement of gain or loss under the passive activity
rules. In addition, the statement must contain an
explanation of the material change in the facts and
circumstances that made the original grouping clearly
inappropriate.
Passive Activity Income
To figure your overall gain or loss from all passive
activities or any passive activity, take into account only
passive activity income. Don’t enter income that isn’t
passive activity income on Form 8582.
Passive activity income includes all income from
passive activities (with certain exceptions described in
Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(c)(2) and
Regulations section 1.469-2(c)(2)), including gain from
the disposition of an interest in a passive activity and from
the disposition of property used in a passive activity at the
time of the disposition.
Passive activity income doesn’t include the following.
Income from an activity that isn’t a passive activity.
Portfolio income, including interest (other than

self-employment taxes.
Self-Charged Interest
Certain self-charged interest income or deductions may
be treated as passive activity gross income or passive
activity deductions if the loan proceeds are used in a
passive activity. Generally, self-charged interest income
and deductions result from loans between you and a
partnership or S corporation in which you had a direct or
indirect ownership interest. This includes both loans you
made to the partnership or S corporation and loans the
partnership or S corporation made to you. It also includes
loans from one partnership or S corporation to another
partnership or S corporation if each owner in the
borrowing entity has the same proportional ownership
interest in the lending entity.
Income from the following sources may be subject to
the net income recharacterization rules.
Significant participation passive activities defined in
•
Rental of property if less than 30% of the unadjusted
•
basis of the property is subject to depreciation.
Passive equity-financed lending activities.

Rental of property to a nonpassive activity.
The self-charged interest rules don’t apply to your
interest in a partnership or S corporation if the entity made
an election under Regulations section 1.469-7(g) to avoid
the application of these rules. For more details on the
self-charged interest rules, see Regulations section
1.469-7.
Acquisition of an interest in a pass-through entity that
licenses intangible property.
Passive Activity Deductions
To figure your overall gain or overall loss from all passive
activities or any passive activity, take into account only
passive activity deductions.
Former Passive Activities
A former passive activity is any activity that was a passive
activity in a prior tax year but is not a passive activity in the
current tax year. A prior year unallowed loss from a former
passive activity is allowed to the extent of current year
income from the activity.
Passive activity deductions include all deductions from
activities that are passive activities for the current tax year
and all deductions from passive activities that were
disallowed under the PAL rules in prior tax years and
carried forward to the current tax year. See Regulations
section 1.469-1(f)(4).
If current year net income from the activity is less than
or equal to the prior year unallowed loss, enter the prior
year unallowed loss and any current year net income from
the activity on Form 8582.
Passive activity deductions include any loss from a
disposition of property used in a passive activity at the
time of the disposition and any loss from a disposition of
less than your entire interest in a passive activity. See
Dispositions, later, for the treatment of losses upon
disposition of your entire interest in an activity.
If current year net income from the activity is more than
the prior year unallowed loss from the activity, enter the
prior year unallowed loss and the current year net income
up to the amount of prior year unallowed loss on Form
8582.
Passive activity deductions don’t include the following.
Deductions for expenses (other than interest expense)
•
If the activity has a net loss for the current year, enter
the prior year unallowed loss (but not the current year
loss) on Form 8582.
that are clearly and directly allocable to portfolio income.
Qualified home mortgage interest, capitalized interest

expenses, and other interest expenses (except

deduction (discussed next) and interest expenses
properly allocable to passive activities).
To report a disposition of a former passive activity,

1040), you report a total loss of $15,450, which includes a
current year $2,800 net loss and a $12,650 prior year
unallowed loss. You have an overall gain from the
disposition ($15,525 – $15,450 = $75).
Because you had an overall gain, you make the
following entries in Part IV. You enter the $15,525 gain on
the disposition in column (a), the current year loss of
$2,800 in column (b), and the prior year unallowed loss of
$12,650 in column (c).
Example 2. Activity with overall loss. You sell your
entire interest in an oil and gas limited partnership that
was your only passive activity for a gain of $2,000. You
have a current year Schedule E loss of $3,330 and a
Schedule E prior year unallowed loss of $1,115.
Because you have an overall loss of $2,445 after
combining the gain and losses, none of the amounts are
entered on Form 8582.
Dispositions
Disposition of an Entire Interest
If you disposed of your entire interest in a passive activity
or a former passive activity to an unrelated person in a
fully taxable transaction during the tax year, your losses
allocable to the activity for the year aren’t limited by the
PAL rules.
A fully taxable transaction is a disposition in which you
recognize all realized gain or loss.
If you’re using the installment method to report this kind
of disposition, figure the loss for the current year that isn’t
limited by the PAL rules by multiplying your overall loss
(which doesn’t include losses allowed in prior years) by
the following fraction:
Gain recognized in the current year
You enter the net loss plus the prior year unallowed
loss ($3,330 + $1,115 = $4,445) on Schedule E, Part II,
column (i), and the $2,000 gain on the sale on Form 8949,
in either Part I or Part II, depending on how long you held
the partnership interest.
Unrecognized gain as of the beginning of the current
year
A partner in a PTP isn’t treated as having disposed of
an entire interest in an activity of a PTP until there’s an
entire disposition of the partner's interest in the PTP.
Disposition of Less Than an Entire Interest
Gains and losses from the disposition of less than an
entire interest in an activity are treated as part of the net
income or net loss from the activity for the current year.
Reporting an Entire Disposition on Form 4797 or
Form 8949
If you completely dispose of your entire interest in a
passive activity or a former passive activity, you may have
to report net income or loss and prior year unallowed
losses from the activity. All the net income and losses are
reported on the forms and schedules normally used.
A disposition of less than substantially all of an
entire interest doesn’t trigger the allowance of
!
CAUTION
prior year unallowed losses.
Disposition of Substantially All of an Activity
You may treat the disposition of substantially all of an
activity as a separate activity if you can prove with
reasonable certainty:
Combine all income and losses (including any prior
year unallowed losses) from the activity for the tax year to
see if you have an overall gain or loss.
1. The prior year unallowed losses, if any, allocable to
the part of the activity disposed of; and
If you have an overall gain, report the income, losses,
and prior year unallowed losses in Part IV or V.
2. The net income or loss for the year of disposition
allocable to the part of the activity disposed of.
If you have an overall gain and this is a former passive
activity, report all income and losses (including any prior
year unallowed losses) on the forms and schedules
normally used and don’t use Form 8582.
Specific Instructions
Part I—2023 Passive Activity Loss
If you have an overall loss when you combine the
income and losses, don’t use Form 8582 for the activity.
All losses (including prior year unallowed losses) are
allowed in full. Report the income and losses on the forms
and schedules normally used.
Use Part I to combine the net income and net loss from all
passive activities to determine if you have a passive
activity loss (PAL) for 2023. Use Parts IV and V first to
determine the entries for lines 1 and 2 of Part I, as follows.
Use Part IV for rental real estate activities with active
•
participation.
Use Part V for all other passive activities.
An overall loss from an entire disposition of a passive
activity is a nonpassive loss if you have an aggregate loss
from all other passive activities. When figuring your
modified adjusted gross income for Part II, line 6, of Form
8582, be sure to take into account the overall loss from
the disposition of the activity.

Line 3. If you have prior year unallowed CRD from rental
real estate activities, treat that dollar amount as negative
and combine with lines 1d and 2d. Enter the combined
amount on line 3 and enter “CRD” and the dollar amount
of the CRD (as a negative) on the dotted line.
Example 1. Activity with overall gain. You sell your
entire interest in a rental real estate activity in which you
actively participated for a gain of $15,525. $7,300 of the
gain is section 1231 gain reported on Form 4797,

carried over to Part VII. Report all amounts in columns (a),
(b), and (c) of Part IV on the proper forms and schedules.
Column (c) total is less than column (a) total. If the
total losses in column (c) are less than the total losses in
column (a), complete column (d).
Use Part VI to allocate the special allowance on Part II,
line 9, of Form 8582 among your rental real estate
activities.
If you used the Worksheet in the instructions for line 9
to apply any remaining special allowance to prior year
unallowed CRD from one or more rental real estate
activities, complete a separate Part VI to allocate that
portion of the special allowance to those CRD activities.
In the first column of Part VI, enter the name of each
activity. In the second column, enter the form or schedule
and line number on which the loss will be reported.
Example. You receive a Schedule K-1 from
partnership P that reports losses from two rental real
estate activities, Activity X and Activity Y. The losses from
partnership P are reported on line 28A of Schedule E. In
the first two columns of Part VI, enter:
Column (d). Subtract column (c) from column (a) and

Part IX—Activities With Losses Reported on Two
or More Forms or Schedules
Multiply each ratio in column (b) by the amount on line
C above, and enter the result in column (c).
Use Part IX for any activity listed in Part VII that has losses
that are reported on two or more different forms and
schedules or are identified separately on the same form or
schedule (for example, 28% rate and non-28%-rate
capital losses reported on Form 8949). Part IX allocates
the allowed and unallowed loss for the activity and
allocates the allowed loss to the different forms or
schedules (or where identified separately on the same
form or schedule) used to report the losses.
Parts VIII and IX
Parts VIII and IX figure your unallowed and allowed losses
for each activity.
If you have losses from any activity that are reported on
two or more different forms or schedules, use Part IX
instead of Part VIII for that activity.
Also use Part IX instead of Part VIII for any activity with
two or more transactions that are reported on the same
form or schedule but must be separately identified for tax
purposes. Transactions that must be separately identified
include capital losses that are 28% rate losses and those
that aren’t.
Only losses that would cause a difference in tax liability
if they were reported on a different form or schedule or are
identified separately on the same form or schedule are
kept separate. Those forms, schedules, and parts are the
following.
Schedules C, E, and F.

8949 non-28%-rate loss, see Example of Form 8949
Line 1b, column (a). Enter any net income from the
activity that’s reported on the same form or schedule (or
on the same part of the same form or schedule) as the
loss on line 1a, column (a).
Example. You enter a prior year unallowed loss from
Form 4797, Part I, on line 1a. If the activity has a current
year Form 4797, Part I, gain, enter the gain on line 1b,
column (a). If the activity doesn’t have a Form 4797, Part I,
gain, enter -0- on line 1b, column (a).
In Part VIII, enter the name of each activity and the form
or schedule and line number on which the loss is reported.
Identify each CRD from Part VII on a separate line of Part
VIII and add "CRD" after the name of the activity. See the
Example for Part VI.
Column (a). For each activity entered in Part VIII, enter
the net loss plus the prior year unallowed loss for the
activity. Figure this amount by adding the losses in
columns (b) and (c) of Parts IV and V and any prior year
unallowed CRD included in Part I, line 3.
Column (b). For each activity entered in Part VIII, enter
the amount from column (c) of Part VII for the activity.
These are your unallowed losses for 2023. Keep a record

Non-28%-rate loss: 0.75 x $3,130 = $2,347.50.
Allowed losses for Activity I are the following.
28% rate loss: $1,000 − $782.50 = $217.50.

How To Report Allowed Losses
Line 3 is income. If Part I, line 3, of Form 8582 shows
net income or zero, all the losses in columns (b) and (c) of
Parts IV and V and any prior year unallowed CRD
included in line 3 are allowed in full under the passive loss
rules. Report the income and losses in columns (a), (b),
and (c) of Parts IV and V and any prior year unallowed
CRD included in line 3 on the forms and schedules
normally used.
Example of Form 8949 transactions. The taxpayer
had the following Form 8949 transactions from passive
activities in 2023.
Line 11 is the same as the total of Part I, lines 1b, 1c,
2b, 2c, and CRD included in line 3. In this case, all the
losses in columns (b) and (c) of Parts IV and V and any
prior year unallowed CRD included in line 3 are allowed in
full under the passive loss rules. Report the income and
losses in columns (a), (b), and (c) of Parts IV and V on the
forms and schedules normally used.
Columns (a) and (c) of Part VI are the same amount.
In this case, all the losses in columns (b) and (c) of Part IV
and any prior year unallowed CRD included in line 3 are
allowed in full under the passive loss rules. Report the
income and losses in columns (a), (b), and (c) of Part IV
and any prior year unallowed CRD included in line 3 on
the forms and schedules normally used.
Losses allowed in column (c) of Part VIII. The
amounts in column (c) of Part VIII are the losses or
deductions allowed for 2023 for the activities listed in that
part. Report the loss allowed from column (c) of Part VIII
and the income, if any, for that activity from column (a) of
Part IV or V on the form or schedule normally used.
Activity I
A passive activity prior year unallowed long-term
capital loss (a 28% rate loss) of $1,000 and a current year
long-term capital loss (a non-28%-rate loss) of $3,000.
Activity II
A current year collectibles loss (a 28% rate loss) of
$230 and net income of $1,100 from Schedule E (Form
1040).
Part V
Activity I has an overall loss of $4,000 (current year
long-term capital loss of $3,000 and a prior year
unallowed long-term capital loss of $1,000). Activity II has
an overall gain of $870 (current year net income of $1,100
less a current year long-term capital loss of $230). Part III,
line 11, of Form 8582 shows an allowed loss of $1,100.
Since Activity II has an overall gain, the amounts shown
in columns (a) and (b) of Part V for that activity are
reported on the proper forms and schedules and aren’t
shown in any other part.
Part VII
Losses allowed in column (e) of Part IX. The amounts
in column (e) of Part IX are the losses or deductions
allowed for 2023 for the activity listed on that part. Report
the losses allowed from column (e) of Part IX and the
income, if any, for that activity from column (a) of Part IV
or V on the forms or schedules normally used.
Schedules C and F, and Form 4835. Enter on the net
profit or loss line of your Schedule C or F, or line 34c of
Form 4835, the allowed passive loss from the part. To the
left of the entry space, enter “PAL.”
Activity I has an unallowed loss of $3,130 (Part I, line 3,
of Form 8582 ($3,130) less the sum of Part II, line 9, of
Form 8582 (-0-) x 100%).
Part IX
Part IX is used to figure the portion of the unallowed
loss attributable to the 28% rate loss and the portion
attributable to the non-28%-rate loss.
The loss attributable to the 28% rate loss ($1,000) and
the loss attributable to the non-28%-rate loss ($3,000) are
separate entries in Part IX. The ratio of each loss to the
total of the two losses is figured as follows. $1,000/$4,000
= 0.25 and $3,000/$4,000 = 0.75. Each of these ratios is
multiplied by the unallowed loss for Activity I, shown in
column (c) of Part VII ($3,130).
If the net profit or loss line on your form or schedule
shows net profit for the year, reduce the net profit by the
allowed loss from Part VIII or IX and enter the result on the
net profit or loss line.

Instructions for Form 8582 (2023)
Example. Schedule C shows net profit for the year of
$5,000 from a passive activity. The activity also has a
Form 4797 gain of $2,500 and a prior year unallowed
Schedule C loss of $6,000. The loss allowed for 2023 is
$6,000. You enter a net loss of $1,000 on line 31 of
Schedule C (the $5,000 net profit for the year less the
$6,000 loss allowed for the year). To the left of the entry
space, you enter “PAL.”
Entire disposition with an overall gain. Gains and
losses from this activity were included on Form 8582 so
that the gains might offset other PALs. Report all the gains

interest in a passive activity.
An established securities market includes any national
securities exchange and any local exchange registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or exempted
from registration because of the limited volume of
Schedule E, Part I. Enter the allowed loss from the part
on line 22 of Schedule E. An activity that has net profit for
the year and prior year unallowed losses will have net
profit on line 21 and the allowed loss on line 22. The
allowed loss on line 22 will include the loss allowed to the
extent of the net profit. Line 24 of Schedule E will show
total profit and line 25 will show total losses allowed (both
passive and nonpassive). Line 26 will show the total net
profit or loss.
transactions. It also includes any over-the-counter market.
A secondary market generally exists if a person stands
ready to make a market in the interest. An interest is
treated as readily tradable if the interest is regularly
quoted by persons, such as brokers or dealers, who are
making a market in the interest.
Schedule E, Parts II and III. Any item of income shown
on your Schedule K-1 that’s passive income must be
entered as passive income in the appropriate column of
Schedule E, Part II or III. Enter the passive loss allowed
from Part VIII or IX of Form 8582 in the appropriate
column for passive losses. The passive losses allowed
include the loss allowed to the extent of any net income
from the activity. Passive net income or loss reportable in
Schedule E, Part II, includes any self-charged interest
income and deductions treated as passive activity income
passive gains or losses from the sale of assets or of an
interest in a passive activity.
Form 4684, Section B. Any passive activity gain from
Form 4684 is unchanged. It was used on Form 8582 to
determine allowable PALs. If you don’t have passive
losses on Form 4684, complete Form 4684 and follow the
instructions for that form for where to report the gain.
The substantial equivalent of a secondary market
exists if there’s no identifiable market maker, but holders
of interests have a readily available, regular, and ongoing
opportunity to sell or exchange interests through a public
means of obtaining or providing information on offers to
buy, sell, or exchange interests. Similarly, the substantial
equivalent of a secondary market exists if prospective
buyers and sellers have the opportunity to buy, sell, or
exchange interests in a timeframe and with the regularity
and continuity that the existence of a market maker would
provide.
Special Instructions for PTPs
Section 469(k) provides that the passive activity
limitations must be applied separately to items from each
PTP. PALs from a PTP may generally be used only to
offset income or gain from passive activities of the same
PTP. The special allowance for rental real estate activities
(including CRDs) doesn’t apply to PALs from a PTP.
Passive activity loss rules for partners in PTPs. Don’t
report passive income, gains, or losses from a PTP on
Form 8582. Instead, use the following rules to figure and
report your income, gains, and losses from passive
activities you held through each PTP you owned during
the tax year.
1. Combine any current year income, gains and
losses, and any prior year unallowed losses to see if you
have an overall loss from the PTP. Include only the same
types of income and losses you would include to figure
your net income or loss from a non-PTP passive activity.
If you have passive losses on Form 4684, cross
through the amount you first entered on line 31, 32, 38a,
38b, or 39 of that form, and enter the allowed loss from
the part. To the left of the entry space, enter “PAL.”
Form 4797 and Form 8949. If you sold assets from a
passive activity or you sold an interest in your passive
activity, all gains from the activity must be entered on the
appropriate line of Form 4797 or Form 8949. Identify the
gain as “FPA.” Enter any allowed losses for Form 4797 or
Form 8949 on the appropriate line. On Form 8949, include
“PAL” in the description of the property in column (a). On
Form 4797, enter “PAL” to the left of the entry space (for
example, line 2 or line 10).
Entire disposition with an overall loss. If you made an
entire disposition of your interest in a passive activity and
that activity had an overall loss, none of the gains, if any,
or losses were entered on Form 8582. However, all the
gains and losses must be reported on the forms or
schedules normally used. To the left of the entry space,
enter “EDPA.”
2. If you have an overall gain, the net gain portion
(total gain minus total losses) is nonpassive income.
It’s important to figure the nonpassive income because
it must be included in modified adjusted gross income to
figure the special allowance for active participation in a
non-PTP rental real estate activity on Form 8582. Also,
you may be able to include the nonpassive income in
investment income when figuring your investment interest
expense deduction. See Form 4952, Investment Interest
Expense Deduction.
Instructions for Form 8582 (2023)
-15-
Report all gains and allowed losses from the activity on
the forms or schedules normally used, and to the left of
each entry space, enter “From PTP.”
(c) of Part VIII (column (e) of Part IX) are the allowed
losses to report on your forms or schedules. Report these
losses and any income from the PTP on the forms and
schedules normally used.
Example. You have Schedule E income of $8,000 and
a Form 4797 prior year unallowed loss of $3,500 from the
passive activities of a PTP. You have a $4,500 overall
gain ($8,000 − $3,500) that’s nonpassive income. On
Schedule E, Part II, you report the $4,500 net gain as
nonpassive income in column (k). In column (h), you
report the remaining Schedule E gain of $3,500 ($8,000 −
$4,500) as passive income. On the appropriate line of
Form 4797, you report the prior year unallowed loss of
$3,500. You enter “From PTP” to the left of each entry
space.
3. If you have an overall loss (but didn’t dispose of
your entire interest in the PTP to an unrelated person in a
fully taxable transaction during the year), the losses are
allowed only to the extent of the income, and the excess
loss is carried forward to use in a future year if you have
income to offset it. Report as a passive loss on the
schedule or form you normally use the portion of the loss
equal to the income. Report the income as passive
income on the form or schedule you normally use.
4. If you have an overall loss and you disposed of your
entire interest in the PTP to an unrelated person in a fully
taxable transaction during the year, your losses (including
prior year unallowed losses) allocable to the activity for
the year aren’t limited by the passive loss rules. A fully
taxable transaction is one in which you recognize all your
realized gain or loss. Report the income and losses on the
forms and schedules normally used.

reported using the installment method, see Disposition of
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. We ask for the

Example. You have a Schedule E loss of $12,000
(current year losses plus prior year unallowed losses) and
Form 4797 gain of $7,200 from the passive activities of a
PTP. You report the $7,200 gain on the appropriate line of
Form 4797. On Schedule E, Part II, you report $7,200 of
the losses as a passive loss in column (g). You carry
forward the unallowed loss of $4,800 ($12,000 − $7,200).
