If your Schedule K-1 is showing unallowed prior year losses and current year unallowed losses in Box 2, but prior year unallowed losses are not showing on Form 8582 Passive Activity Loss Limitations, you have most likely indicated an amount in Box 1 as nonpassive and an amount in Box 2 as passive on the same K-1.

Per IRS Instructions for Form 8582, page 9:

Column (c). Enter the prior year unallowed losses for each activity. You find these amounts on Worksheet 5, column (c), of your 2020 Form 8582. Enter the total of column (c) from your 2021 Worksheet 1 on line 1c of Form 8582.

To get this to work in the TaxAct program (if you need help accessing Schedule K-1, go to our Schedule K-1 - Entering FAQ):
