General Instructions

Purpose of FormForm 8582-CR is used bynoncorporate taxpayers to figure theamount of any passive activity credit(PAC) for the current tax year(including any prior year unallowedcredits) and the amount of creditallowed for the current year. It also is

used to make the election to increasethe basis of credit property when ataxpayer disposes of his or herinterest in an activity.

PACs that are not allowed in thecurrent year are carried forward untilthey are allowed against the tax oneither net passive income or thespecial allowance, if applicable.

Different rules apply to youractivities and the related credit,depending on the type of activity.Generally, passive activities include:q Trade or business activities in

which you did not materiallyparticipate for the tax year.q Rental activities, regardless of yourparticipation.

See Trade or Business Activitieson page 3 and Rental Activities onpage 2.Note: Corporations subject to thepassive activity rules must useForm8810, Corporate Passive Activity Lossand Credit Limitations.

Who Must FileForm 8582-CR is filed by individuals,

estates, and trusts who have any ofthe following credits from passiveactivities:q Investment credit (including therehabilitation credit, energy credit,and reforestation credit),q Work opportunity credit,q Credit for alcohol used as fuel,q Credit for increasing researchactivities,q Low-income housing credit,q Enhanced oil recovery credit,

q Disabled access credit,q Renewable electricity productioncredit,q Empowerment zone employmentcredit,q Indian employment credit,q Credit for employer social securityand Medicare taxes paid on certainemployee tips,q Orphan drug credit,q Credit for contributions to selectedcommunity developmentcorporations,q Nonconventional source fuel credit,q Qualified electric vehicle credit, andq General credits from electing largepartnerships.

Overview of FormThe form contains six parts. A briefexplanation of the purpose or use ofeach part is given at the beginning ofthe Specific Instructions for each part.The explanations give a general

overview of how the form works.Also, reading the instructions thatfollow, see Example of How ToComplete Form 8582-CR, beginningon page 5. The example goesthrough a four-step analysis of howthe form and worksheets should becompleted for a partner in a limitedpartnership that has a low-incomehousing credit. This example mayprovide enough information tocomplete the form and worksheetswithout reading all of the instructions.

Activities That Are NotPassive ActivitiesThe following are not passiveactivities:

1. Trade or business activities inwhich you materially participated forthe tax year.

2. Any rental real estate activity inwhich you materially participated, ifyou were a real estate professionalfor the tax year. You were a realestate professional only if:

a. More than half of the personalservices you performed in trades orbusinesses were performed in realproperty trades or businesses inwhich you materially participated, and

b. You performed more than 750hours of services in real propertytrades or businesses in which youmaterially participated.

For purposes of this rule, eachinterest in rental real estate is a

separate activity, unless you elect totreat all interests in rental real estateas one activity.

If you are married filing jointly, onespouse must separately meet both ofthe above conditions without takinginto account services performed bythe other spouse.

A real property trade or business isany real property development,redevelopment, construction,reconstruction, acquisition,conversion, rental, operation,management, leasing, or brokeragetrade or business. Services youperformed as an employee are nottreated as performed in a realproperty trade or business unless youowned more than 5% of the stock (ormore than 5% of the capital or profitsinterest) in the employer.

3. A working interest in an oil orgas well. Your working interest mustbe held directly or through an entitythat does not limit your liability (suchas a general partner interest in apartnership). In this case, it does notmatter whether you materiallyparticipated in the activity for the tax

year.If, however, your liability was limited

for part of the year (e.g., youconverted your general partnerinterest to a limited partner interestduring the year), some of your incomeand losses from the working interestmay be treated as passive activitygross income and passive activitydeductions. See TemporaryRegulations section1.469-1T(e)(4)(ii).

4. The rental of a dwelling unityou used as a residence if section280A(c)(5) applies. This sectionapplies if you rented out a dwellingunit that you also used as a homeduring the year for a number of daysthat exceeds the greater of 14 daysor 10% of the number of days duringthe year that the home was rented ata fair rental.

5. An activity of trading personal

property for the account of owners ofinterests in the activity. For purposesof this rule, personal property meansproperty that is actively traded, suchas stocks, bonds, and othersecurities. See TemporaryRegulations section 1.469-1T(e)(6).

Generally, credits from theseactivities should not be entered onForm 8582-CR. However, creditsfrom these activities may be subjectto limitations other than the passivecredit limitation rules.

Rental ActivitiesA rental activity is a passive activityeven if you materially participated inthe activity (other than a rental realestate activity in which you materiallyparticipated, if you were a real estateprofessional).

However, if you meet any of the fiveexceptions listed below, the rental ofthe property is not treated as a rentalactivity. See Reporting CreditsFrom the Activities on this page, ifyou meet any of the exceptions.

An activity is a rental activity if

tangible property (real or personal) isused by customers or held for use bycustomers and the gross income (orexpected gross income) from theactivity represents amounts paid (orto be paid) mainly for the use of theproperty. It does not matter whetherthe use is under a lease, a servicecontract, or some other arrangement.

Exceptions

An activity is not a rental activity if:1. The average period of

customer use is:

a. 7 days or less, orb. 30 days or less andsignificant personal services wereprovided in making the rental propertyavailable for customer use.

Figure the average period ofcustomer use for a class of propertyby dividing the total number of daysin all rental periods by the number ofrentals during the tax year. If theactivity involves renting more thanone class of property, multiply the

average period of customer use ofeach class by the ratio of the grossrental income from that class to theactivity's total gross rental income.The activity's average period ofcustomer use equals the sum ofthese class-by-class average periodsweighted by gross income. SeeRegulations section 1.469-1(e)(3)(iii).

Significant personal servicesinclude only services performed by

individuals. In determining if personalservices are significant, all relevantfacts and circumstances areconsidered. Facts and circumstancesinclude the frequency of the services,the type and amount of labor requiredto perform the services, and the valueof the services relative to the amountcharged for use of the property.

2.Extraordinary personalservices were provided in making therental property available for customeruse.

Extraordinary personal services are

services provided in making rentalproperty available for customer useonly if they are performed byindividuals and the customers' use ofthe rental property is incidental totheir receipt of the services.

3. Rental of the property isincidental to a nonrental activity.

The rental of property is incidentalto an activity of holding property forinvestment if the main purpose ofholding the property is to realize again from its appreciation and thegross rental income is less than 2%of the smaller of the unadjustedbasis or the fair market value (FMV)of the property.

Unadjusted basis means the costof the property without regard todepreciation deductions or any otherbasis adjustment described in section1016.

The rental of property is incidentalto a trade or business activity if:

a. You own an interest in thetrade or business activity during thetax year;

b. The rental property was mainlyused in the trade or business activityduring the tax year or during at least2 of the 5 preceding tax years; and

c. The gross rental income fromthe property is less than 2% of thesmaller of the unadjusted basis or theFMV of the property.

Lodging provided for the employer'sconvenience to an employee or theemployee's spouse or dependents isincidental to the activity or activities inwhich the employee performsservices.

4. You customarily make therental property available duringdefined business hours fornonexclusive use by variouscustomers.

5. You provide property for use ina nonrental activity of a partnership,an S corporation, or joint venture inyour capacity as an owner of aninterest in the partnership, Scorporation, or joint venture.

Reporting Credits From theActivities

If you meet any of the five exceptionslisted above, your rental of theproperty is not a rental activity. Youthen must determine:

1. Whether your rental of theproperty is a trade or business activity(see Trade or Business Activitieson page 3) and, if so,

2. Whether you materiallyparticipated in the activity for the taxyear (see Material Participation on

page 4).q If the activity is a trade or businessactivity in which you did notmaterially participate, enter thecredits from the activity on Worksheet4 on page 11.q If you meet any of the fiveexceptions listed above and theactivity is a trade or business activityin which you did materiallyparticipate, report the credits from theactivity on the forms you normallyuse.

If you did not meet any of the five

exceptions, the rental activity isgenerally a passive activity. Specialrules apply if you conduct the rentalactivity through a publicly tradedpartnership (PTP). See PubliclyTraded Partnerships (PTPs) onpage 15.

If the rental activity is not conductedthrough a PTP, the passive rentalactivity is entered in Worksheet 1, 2,3, or 4 on pages 10 and 11.

Worksheet 1 is for credits (otherthan rehabilitation credits andlow-income housing credits) from

passive rental real estate activities inwhich you actively participated. SeeActive Participation in a RentalReal Estate Activity on page 3.

Worksheet 2 is for rehabilitationcredits from passive rental real estateactivities and low-income housingcredits for property placed in servicebefore 1990. This worksheet is alsoused for low-income housing creditsfrom a partnership, S corporation, orother pass-through entity if yourinterest in the pass-through entity was

Page 2


3/16

acquired before 1990, regardless ofthe date the property was placed inservice.

Worksheet 3 is for low-incomehousing credits for property placed inservice after 1989 (unless heldthrough a pass-through entity inwhich you acquired your interestbefore 1990).

Worksheet 4 is for credits frompassive trade or business activities inwhich you did not materiallyparticipate and passive rental realestate activities in which you did notactively participate (but notrehabilitation credits from passiverental real estate activities orlow-income housing credits).

Active Participation in a RentalReal Estate Activity

If you actively participated in apassive rental real estate activity, youmay be able to claim credits from theactivity for the tax attributable to a

special allowance of up to $25,000,reduced by any passive lossesallowed under this exception on Form8582.

The special allowance also appliesto low-income housing credits andrehabilitation credits from a rental realestate activity, even if you did notactively participate in the activity. Thecredits allowed under the specialallowance are in addition to thecredits allowed for the tax attributableto net passive income.

The special allowance is notavailable if you were married, arefiling a separate return for the year,and lived with your spouse at anytime during the year.

Only an individual, a qualifyingestate, or a qualified revocabletrust that made an election to treatthe trust as part of the decedent'sestate can actively participate in arental real estate activity. Limitedpartners cannot actively participateunless future regulations provide anexception.

A qualifying estate is the estate ofa decedent for tax years ending less

than 2 years after the date of thedecedent's death if the decedentwould have satisfied the activeparticipation requirements for therental real estate activity for the taxyear the decedent died.

A qualified revocable trust mayelect to be treated as part of adecedent's estate for purposes of thespecial allowance for activeparticipation in rental real estate

activities. The election must be madeby both the executor (if any) of thedecedent's estate and the trustee ofthe revocable trust. This rule iseffective for estates of decedents whodied after August 5, 1997. For details,see section 645.

You are not considered to activelyparticipate in a rental real estateactivity if at any time during the taxyear your interest (including your

spouse's interest) in the activity wasless than 10% (by value) of allinterests in the activity. Activeparticipation is a less stringentrequirement than materialparticipation (see MaterialParticipation on page 4).

You may be treated as activelyparticipating if, for example, youparticipated in making managementdecisions or arranging for others toprovide services (such as repairs) ina significant and bona fide sense.Management decisions that can count

as active participation include:q Approving new tenants,q Deciding on rental terms,q Approving capital or repairexpenditures, andq Other similar decisions.

The maximum special allowanceis:q $25,000 for single individuals andmarried individuals filing a joint returnfor the tax year.q $12,500 for married individuals whofile separate returns for the tax yearand who lived apart from their

spouses at all times during the taxyear.q $25,000 for a qualifying estatereduced by the special allowance forwhich the surviving spouse qualified.

If your modified adjusted grossincome (defined in the instructions forline 10 on page 10) is $100,000 orless ($50,000 or less if married filingseparately), figure your credits basedon the amount of the maximumspecial allowance referred to in thepreceding paragraph.

If your modified adjusted gross

income is more than $100,000($50,000 if married filing separately),your special allowance is limited to50% of the difference between$150,000 ($75,000 if married filingseparately) and your modifiedadjusted gross income.

When modified adjusted grossincome is $150,000 or more ($75,000or more if married filing separately),there is no special allowance.

However, for low-income housingcredits for property placed in servicebefore 1990 and for rehabilitationcredits, the limits on modifiedadjusted gross income are increased.If your modified adjusted grossincome is more than $200,000($100,000 if married filing separately),your special allowance is limited to50% of the difference between$250,000 ($125,000 if married filing

separately) and your modifiedadjusted gross income.

When modified adjusted grossincome is $250,000 or more($125,000 or more if married filingseparately), there is no specialallowance.

No modified adjusted gross incomelimitation applies when figuring thespecial allowance for low-incomehousing credits for property placed inservice after 1989 (other than from apass-through entity in which youacquired your interest before 1990).

Trade or BusinessActivitiesA trade or business activity is anactivity (other than a rental activity oran activity treated as incidental to anactivity of holding property forinvestment) that:

1. Involves the conduct of a tradeor business (within the meaning ofsection 162),

2. Is conducted in anticipation ofstarting a trade or business, or

3. Involves research orexperimental expenditures deductibleunder section 174 (or that would beif you chose to deduct rather thancapitalize them).

Reporting Credits From theActivities

Trade or business activities withmaterial participation. If youmaterially participated in a trade orbusiness activity, the activity is not apassive activity. Report the creditsfrom the activity on the forms younormally use.

Trade or business activitieswithout material participation. Ifyou did not materially participate in atrade or business activity, the activityis a passive activity. Generally, youmust use Worksheet 4 on page 11 todetermine the amount to enter onForm 8582-CR for each trade orbusiness activity in which you did notmaterially participate. However, if youheld the activity through a PTP,special rules apply. See Publicly

Page 3

Traded Partnerships (PTPs) onpage 15.

Material ParticipationFor the material participation testslisted below, participation generallyincludes any work done in connectionwith an activity if you owned aninterest in the activity at the time youdid the work. The capacity in which

you did the work does not matter.However, work is not participation if:q It is not work that an owner wouldcustomarily do in the same type ofactivity, andq One of your main reasons for doingthe work was to avoid thedisallowance of losses or credits fromthe activity under the passive activityrules.Proof of participation. You mayprove your participation in an activityby any reasonable means. You do nothave to maintain contemporaneousdaily time reports, logs, or similardocuments if you can establish yourparticipation by other reasonablemeans. For this purpose, reasonablemeans include, but are not limited to,identifying services performed over aperiod of time and the approximatenumber of hours spent performing theservices during that period, based onappointment books, calendars, ornarrative summaries.Test for investors. Work done asan investor in an activity is not treatedas participation unless you weredirectly involved in the day-to-day

management or operations of theactivity. For purposes of this test,work done as an investor includes:

1. Studying and reviewingfinancial statements or reports onoperations of the activity.

2. Preparing or compilingsummaries or analyses of thefinances or operations of the activityfor your own use.

3. Monitoring the finances oroperations of the activity in anonmanagerial capacity.Test for a spouse. Participation by

your spouse during the tax year in anactivity you own may be counted asyour participation in the activity, evenif your spouse did not own an interestin the activity and whether or not youand your spouse file a joint return forthe tax year.Tests for individuals. Youmaterially participated for the tax yearin an activity if you satisfy at least oneof the following tests:

1. You participated in the activityfor more than 500 hours.

2. Your participation in the activityfor the tax year was substantially allof the participation in the activity ofall individuals (including individualswho did not own any interest in theactivity) for the year.

3. You participated in the activityfor more than 100 hours during thetax year, and you participated at leastas much as any other individual(including individuals who did not own

any interest in the activity) for theyear.

4. The activity is a significantparticipation activity for the taxyear, and you participated in allsignificant participation activitiesduring the year for more than 500hours.

A significant participation activity isany trade or business activity in whichyou participated for more than 100hours during the year and in whichyou did not materially participateunder any of the material participation

tests (other than this test 4).5. You materially participated in

the activity for any 5 (whether or notconsecutive) of the 10 preceding taxyears.

6. The activity is a personalservice activity in which youmaterially participated for any 3(whether or not consecutive)preceding tax years.

An activity is a personal serviceactivity if it involves the performanceof personal services in the fields ofhealth, law, engineering, architecture,

accounting, actuarial science,performing arts, consulting, or anyother trade or business in whichcapital is not a materialincome-producing factor.

7. Based on all the facts andcircumstances, you participated in theactivity on a regular, continuous, andsubstantial basis during the tax year.

You did not materially participate inthe activity under this seventh test,however, if you participated in theactivity for 100 hours or less duringthe tax year. Your participation inmanaging the activity does not countin determining whether you materiallyparticipated under this test if:

a. Any person (except you)received compensation for performingservices in the management of theactivity; or

b. Any individual spent morehours during the tax year than youspent performing services in themanagement of the activity(regardless of whether the individual

was compensated for themanagement services).

Special rules for limited partners.If you are a limited partner in anactivity, you generally did notmaterially participate in the activity.You did materially participate in theactivity, however, if you met materialparticipation tests 1, 5, or 6 above forthe tax year.

However, for purposes of thematerial participation tests you arenot treated as a limited partner if youwere a general partner in thepartnership at all times during thepartnership's tax year ending with orwithin your tax year (or, if shorter,during the portion of the partnership'stax year in which you directly orindirectly owned your limited partnerinterest).

A limited partner's share of anelecting large partnership's taxableincome or loss from all trade orbusiness and rental activities is

treated as income or loss from theconduct of a single passive trade orbusiness activity.Special rules for certain retired ordisabled farmers and survivingspouses of farmers. Certain retiredor disabled farmers and survivingspouses of farmers are treated asmaterially participating in a farmingactivity if the real property used in theactivity meets the estate tax rules forspecial valuation of farm propertypassed from a qualifying decedent.See Temporary Regulations section1.469-5T(h)(2).Estates and trusts. The PAClimitations apply to an estate or trust.See Temporary Regulations sections1.469-1T(b)(2) and (3). The rules fordetermining material participation forthis purpose have not yet beenissued.

Grouping of ActivitiesGenerally, one or more trade orbusiness activities or rental activitiesmay be treated as a single activity ifthe activities make up an appropriateeconomic unit for the measurementof gain or loss under the passiveactivity rules. Whether activities makeup an appropriate economic unitdepends on all the relevant facts andcircumstances. The factors given thegreatest weight in determiningwhether activities make up anappropriate economic unit are:

1. Similarities and differences intypes of trades or businesses,

2. The extent of common control,

Page 4


5/16

3. The extent of commonownership,

4. Geographical location, and5. Reliance between or among

the activities.Example. You have a significant

ownership interest in a bakery and amovie theater in Baltimore and in abakery and a movie theater inPhiladelphia. Depending on all therelevant facts and circumstances,there may be more than onereasonable method for grouping youractivities. For instance, the followinggroupings may or may not bepermissible:q A single activity,q A movie theater activity and abakery activity,q A Baltimore activity and aPhiladelphia activity, orq Four separate activities.

Once you choose a grouping underthese rules, you must continue using

that grouping in later tax years unlessa material change in the facts andcircumstances makes it clearlyinappropriate.

The IRS may regroup your activitiesif your grouping fails to reflect one ormore appropriate economic units andone of the primary purposes of yourgrouping is to avoid the passiveactivity limitations.Limitation on grouping certainactivities. The following activitiesmay not be grouped together:

1. A rental activity with a trade orbusiness activity unless the activities

being grouped together make up anappropriate economic unit, and

a. The rental activity isinsubstantial relative to the trade orbusiness activity or vice versa, or

b. Each owner of the trade orbusiness activity has the sameproportionate ownership interest inthe rental activity. If so, the portionof the rental activity involving therental of property to be used in thetrade or business activity may begrouped with the trade or businessactivity.

2. An activity involving the rentalof real property with an activityinvolving the rental of personalproperty (except for personal propertyprovided in connection with the realproperty or vice versa).

3. Any activity with anotheractivity in a different type of businessand in which you hold an interest asa limited partner or as a limitedentrepreneur (as defined in section

464(e)(2)), if that other activityengages in holding, producing, ordistributing motion picture films orvideotapes; farming; leasing section1245 property; or exploring for (orexploiting) oil and gas resources orgeothermal deposits.Activities conducted throughpartnerships, S corporations, andC corporations subject to section469. Once a partnership orcorporation determines its activitiesunder these rules, a partner orshareholder may use these rules togroup those activities with:

q Each other,q Activities conducted directly by thepartner or shareholder, orq Activities conducted through otherpartnerships and corporations.

A partner or shareholder may nottreat as separate activities thoseactivities grouped together by thepartnership or corporation.Partial disposition of an activity.

You may treat the disposition ofsubstantially all of an activity as aseparate activity if you can prove withreasonable certainty:

1. The prior year unallowedlosses, if any, allocable to the part ofthe activity disposed of, and

2. The net income or loss for theyear of disposition allocable to thepart of the activity disposed of.

DispositionsUnallowed PACs, unlike unallowedpassive activity losses, are not

allowed when you dispose of yourinterest in an activity. However, youmay elect to increase the basis of thecredit property by the amount of theoriginal basis reduction of theproperty to the extent that the credithas not been allowed under thepassive activity rules. UnallowedPACs that are not used to increasethe basis of the credit property arecarried forward until they are allowed.To make the election, complete PartVI of Form 8582-CR. No basisadjustment may be elected on apartial disposition of your interest in

a passive activity.

Mr. Jones received a Schedule K-1 from the partnership. The low-income housing credit is shown on line 12(a)(3) of Schedule K-1because the property was placed in service after 1989 (post-1989 low-income housing credit).

Step 3. After completing Form 8582-CR, Mr. Jones determines his allowed and unallowed credit. Because he has only one type ofcredit from a single passive activity, his allowed low-income housing credit for 1999 is the amount on line 37, or $9,786. His unallowedcredit of $2,214 is determined by subtracting the allowed credit on line 37 from the total credit on line 5 ($12,000 $9,786).

Step 4. Mr. Jones enters the allowed passive activity credit of $9,786 on line 7 of Form 8586 and completes Part II of that formaccording to the instructions for Form 8586. The unallowed credit of $2,214 is carried forward and used to figure the passive activitycredit allowed for 2000.

Publicly TradedPartnerships (PTPs)A PTP is a partnership whoseinterests are traded on an establishedsecurities market or are readilytradable on a secondary market (or itssubstantial equivalent).

An established securities marketincludes any national securitiesexchange and any local exchange

registered under the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934 or exemptedfrom registration because of thelimited volume of transactions. It alsoincludes any over-the-counter market.

A secondary market generallyexists where a person stands readyto make a market in the interest. Aninterest is treated as readily tradableif the interest is regularly quoted bypersons, such as brokers or dealers,who are making a market in theinterest.

The substantial equivalent of a

secondary market exists where thereis no identifiable market maker, butholders of interests have a readilyavailable, regular, and ongoingopportunity to sell or exchange theirinterests through a public means ofobtaining or providing information onoffers to buy, sell, or exchangeinterests. Similarly, the substantialequivalent of a secondary marketexists where prospective buyers andsellers have the opportunity to buy,sell, or exchange interests in atimeframe and with the regularity andcontinuity that the existence of a

market maker would provide.

following the steps shown in theworksheet in the line 6 instructions onpage 9. Complete a separate taxcomputation for each PTP with netpassive income.Step 2. Passive activity credits fromeach PTP are allowed to the extentof the tax attributable to net passiveincome from the same PTP. Creditsin excess of the tax attributable to netpassive income may be allowedunder one or more steps below.

Complete Steps 3 through 5 only ifyour passive activity credits (includingprior year unallowed credits) includerehabilitation credits from rental realestate activities from PTPs,low-income housing credits forproperty placed in service before1990 from PTPs, or low-incomehousing credits from PTPs in whichyou acquired your interest before1990 (regardless of the date placedin service).Step 3. Reduce rehabilitation creditsfrom rental real estate activities fromeach PTP, low-income housingcredits for property placed in servicebefore 1990 from each PTP, and any

low-income housing credits (includingprior year unallowed credits) fromeach PTP in which you acquired yourinterest before 1990 (regardless ofthe date placed in service) to theextent of the tax, which was figuredin Step 1, attributable to net passiveincome from that PTP.Step 4. Before beginning this step,complete Form 8582-CR if you haveany passive credits that are not fromPTPs. Subtract the total of lines 16,30, and 36, if any, of Form 8582-CR,from the amount on line 27 of Form8582-CR, to figure the tax attributableto the special allowance available forthe credits in Step 3.

If your only passive credits are fromPTPs, complete lines 21 through 27of Form 8582-CR as a worksheet.The amount on line 27 is the taxattributable to the special allowanceavailable for the credits in Step 3.Step 5. Rehabilitation credits fromrental real estate activities of PTPs,low-income housing credits for

property placed in service before1990 by PTPs, and low-incomehousing credits from PTPs in whichyou acquired your interest before1990 (regardless of the date placedin service) allowed under the specialallowance are the smaller of the totalcredits from Step 3 or the amountfigured in Step 4. If Step 4 is smallerthan Step 3, allocate the amount inStep 4 pro rata to the credits from

each PTP in Step 3.Note: Complete Steps 6 through 8only if you have low-income housingcredits (including prior year unallowedcredits) for property placed in serviceafter 1989 from a PTP in which youacquired your interest after 1989.Step 6. Reduce low-income housingcredits (including prior year unallowedcredits) for property placed in serviceafter 1989 from each PTP in whichyou also acquired your interest after1989 to the extent of the taxattributable to net passive income

from that PTP, which was figured inStep 1.Step 7. Before beginning this step,complete Form 8582-CR if you haveany passive credits that are not fromPTPs. Subtract the sum of the creditsallowed in Step 5 above and line 36of Form 8582-CR from the amount online 35 of Form 8582-CR to figure thetax attributable to the specialallowance available for the credits inStep 6.

If your only passive credits are fromPTPs, complete the steps shown inthe worksheet in the line 35instructions on page 12. Subtract thecredits allowed in Step 5 above fromthe tax figured on line J of thatworksheet. The result is the taxattributable to the special allowanceavailable for the credits in Step 6.Step 8. Low-income housing creditsallowed under the special allowancefor property placed in service after1989 from a PTP in which you alsoacquired your interest after 1989 arethe smaller of the total credits fromStep 6 or the amount figured in Step7. If Step 7 is smaller than Step 6,

allocate the amount in Step 7 pro ratato the credits from each PTP in Step6.Step 9. Add the credits from Steps2, 5, and 8. These are the total creditsallowed from passive activities ofPTPs.Step 10. Figure the allowed andunallowed credits from each PTP.Report the allowed credits on theforms normally used. Keep a recordof the unallowed credits to be carriedforward to 2000.
