Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 469 limits the passive activity losses or credit that a taxpayer may deduct and provides that unallowed losses or credit may be applied in the next taxable year. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.469-1 and 1.469-1T provide the general rules for determining passive activity losses and credits.
Form 8582 is used by individuals, estates, and trusts to figure the amount of passive activity loss for the current tax year and to report the application of prior year unallowed passive activity loss.
US Code:
26 USC 469
Name of Law: Passive activity losses and credits limited
Form 8582 was revised to remove the expired commercial revitalization deductions, removing 13 lines from the form. This reduces the burden by 75,000 hours due to Agency Discretion. The estimated number of responses was updated based on current filing data. This increases the number of responses by 150,000 and the burden hours by 480,000 annually due to Agency Estimate.
