Any suggestions of how to get 2023 federal info to carry forward to the state return? Sch D info for loss/gain carry forward does not happen.

The carry forward of S/T and L/T does not import from federal return to state return. Hence a difference in income from federal to state. This increases taxes for state.

What state?

Alabama

Alabama does not limit capital losses, so you could have deducted any losses last year on your Alabama state return.   The federal return limits capital losses to $3k a year, but Alabama does not.  Check your 2022 AL return to verify all of your losses were included.
