Carry forward suspended losses

[Tyler Sherman]

Hello! I'm working with an accountant and I'm a little annoyed because I'd like to understand how the carry-forward suspended losses is calculated and I'm not getting a clear answer. I thought it would be as simple as adding up all of my losses  from Schedule 1 - Additional income and adjustments to income line 5 over the past few years. 

I'm a little skeptical of the amount the accountant told me it was given my expenditures and rental income over the years. Appreciate some insight here. Thanks!
