I have a client with a Schedule K1S reporting real estate losses. The taxpayer has 100% interest in the LLC, and is the one collecting the rents, and paying the expenses. Can the taxpayer claim the real estate losses on Form 1040 to reduce other K1S income received in Tax Year 2022?

They have a real estate in an S-corporation?  That is generally not a good idea.

Real estate losses are usually Passive Losses, unless there are circumstances that makes it non-passive (nothing in your post indicated it could be non-passive).  That means losses are not allowed, except to the extent of (a) passive income or (b) if their income is below the threshold, and limited to up to $25,000.  Any non-allowed Passive Losses are carried forward until they can be used against (a) income from a Passive Activity, or (b) the Activity is disposed in a "fully taxable transaction".

2022?  Just to confirm, you are preparing a 2022 return, right?

As the 100% owner/member of the LLC, aka a Single Member LLC, (unless the 100% owner/member elected to file an S corp return), the rental income and expenses are reported on the 1040 Sch. E.

It is a Disregarded Entity.
