I would recommend caution. You're about to DIY the passive activity losses rules and make a binding election on your tax return. The passive activity losses rules under Sec 469 are an area of the internal revenue code that is difficult to grasp and take years to understand for professionals who are exposed to it on a regular basis, let alone non-practitioners.
It might be the wiser move to extend your return and interview CPAs/EAs after things calm down.
