The "NPA" text (to indicate "Not a passive activity") and an amount will appear below Line 26 on Schedule E (Form 1040) Supplemental Income and Loss if the selection is made in the TaxAct^® program to indicate this is a nonpassive activity.

To make this selection (if you need help accessing Schedule E, go to our Schedule E - Entering Rental Property in Program FAQ):

1. From within your Schedule E, continue with the interview process until you reach the screen titled Rental Income - Passive Activity.
2. Click the checkbox next to Nonpassive activity (read the information provided on the screen to decide whether to check the box).

If the text is applicable to your return (determined by the information entered), the TaxAct program automatically places the text in the correct location on the return. The text will appear on the printed or print preview form, but is only visible in Forms View for the TaxAct Desktop program.

Note that any link in the information above is updated each year automatically and will take you to the most recent version of the webpage or document at the time it is accessed.
