Client's 2014 passive loss carryforward did not carry over to the 2015 Form 8582.  Can I treat it as a prior year adjustment on line 27 of Schedule E?  Or, do I have to amend the tax returns from 2015 - 2017 to show the PAL being carried forward to all 3 tax years?  He has enough passive income in 2018 to absorb most of the 2014 carryforward loss.

Thank you in advance for your help

I would rerun 2015-2017 returns to see if anything changes. If yes, file amended returns for those years. If no, I'd just adjust the prior year losses on the 8582.

Just document the trail of "non-use" in prior years in case of a future inquiry.
