Question

Schedule E Page 2 - "PYA" - Prior Year Unallowed Losses

Accepted Answer

Losses Not Allowed in Prior Years Due to Basis Limitations (nonpassive):

Enter your total prior year unallowed losses that are now deductible on a separate, line in Column (H) of Line 28. Do not combine these losses with, or net them against, any current year amounts from the partnership or S corporation.
Enter “PYA” in Column (A) of the same line.

To accomplish this in the TaxAct^® program, you would enter a separate K-1 for the business. Enter the EIN as it is on the Schedule K-1 already entered for that Partnership or S Corporation. Enter "PYA" for the Name so that is reflected in Column A of Line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040) Supplemental Income and Loss on page 2. The only amount entered on this K-1 would be in Box 1 and would be the amount of Prior Year Loss allowed to be taken in this year (entered as a negative amount).

Do not combine these losses with, or net them against, any current year amounts from the partnership or S corporation.
Enter “PYA” in Column (A) of the same line.
