Quick Facts

Taxpayers (individuals, estates, trusts) who are subject to passive‑activity loss limits and need more lines than Form 8582 provides.
It captures the same data as Form 8582—passive income, loss, allowable loss, and carryover amounts—on additional rows.
Attach Form 8582‑CR to the original Form 8582 when filing the tax return for the year the passive activity occurs, typically by the regular filing deadline (e.g., April 15 for individuals).
Mail the completed Form 8582‑CR together with Form 8582 and the rest of the tax return to the address specified in the Form 1040 instructions for your filing type, or submit electronically if using approved tax‑software that supports the attachment.
Incorrect or missing continuation data can cause the IRS to reject the return or misapply passive‑loss limits, leading to penalties or delayed refunds.
1. Complete Form 8582 first, filling all applicable lines. 2. When a table runs out of rows, continue the same column headings on Form 8582‑CR. 3. Transfer each figure exactly as it appears on the source schedules. 4. Sign and date the main Form 8582; the continuation sheet does not require a separate signature.
