Best answer by Ashby

You are falling victim to Passive Activity (rental) Loss Limitations. The ability to claim current year losses against income for rentals is phased out between $100k and $150k.

The program will automatically carry these losses over to use in a year where your income is lower or to offset a gain. If your income remains at this level or higher, you will be able to recoup all carried over losses at time of sale of the rental property.
