I need to file an amended 2017 return. Turbo Tax gives steps but then only asks about certain of amendments, not the kind I have--a carryover loss. How do I amend?

Once you have started the Amended return,

  • Click on Search
  • Type "Capital Loss Carryover" in the search window and click Enter
  • Click on "Jump to Capital Loss Carryover"
  • Answer "Yes" to "Did you have investment losses you couldn't claim in 2017?"
  • Indicate "Yes, I know my capital loss carryover amounts."
  • Enter your capital loss carryover amounts from 2017
