Schedule E from prior years shows the loss. This year there is a loss as well but my taxes due did not lower like they did last year. Does gross income/net income for play a factor in rental property losses? Aside from the Schedule E, is there another form to complete for rental property losses?

if you are adjusted gross income is more than $150K you are subject to passive loss limitation. this means you get no current tax benefit from your rental loss. as long as AGI remains over $150K you will continue to get no benefit until you sell in a taxable transaction.  for computation of the limitation look at form 8582.
