This worksheet is used to assemble information on your passive activities, other than rental real estate activities in which you actively participated and commercial revitalization deductions (CRDs) from rental real estate activities. The activities to report here include: trade or business activities in which you did not materially participate, rental real estate activities that don't qualify for the special allowance (other than CRDs from these activities), and real estate activities which are not rental activities.
In completing column (c), you can find the numbers you need on Worksheet #5, column (c), of last year's Form 8582.
The totals in columns (a), (b) and (c) are carried to lines 3a , 3b and 3c, respectively, of Form 8582.
The totals in columns (d) and (e) are not carried to Form 8582, but are used when Form 8582 is completed to figure the loss allowed for the current year.
