Get your taxes done using TurboTax

did you pay a lot of tax due to those gains in 2021?

if NO, then there's little point to carry back.

 

See 2022 Form 6781 Line 6 where you tell the IRS how much to expect on your amended return for prior year(s).

Since you started in 2021 that's the one year you can carry back to.
