Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations is used to calculate the amount of any passive activity loss that a taxpayer can take in a given year. For more information on passive activity losses, see here.
Form 8582 is automatically generated by TaxSlayer Pro based on information provided elsewhere in the return. If Form 8582 is included in a return it cannot be removed, and a passive loss that has been limited cannot be taken. Regardless of the number or complexity of passive activities the taxpayer has, only one Form 8582 is filed.
