You don't. Any passive losses are stored on Form 8582 and are realized upon the total disposition of the property. Keep your forms until such time as you sell.

 

Dispositions

Any passive activity losses (but not credits) that haven’t been allowed (including current year losses) are generally allowed in full in the tax year you dispose of your entire interest in the passive (or former passive) activity. However, for the losses to be allowed, you must dispose of your entire interest in the activity in a transaction in which all realized gain or loss is recognized. Also, the person acquiring the interest from you must not be related to you.

I converted my rental property to personal use in 2020? does that count as a disposal?
Are you saying that I don't get to claim all the loss carry forward from prior years? Are they just lost?
