Did the -$3,000 not appear on line 7 (with a checkmark in the box) on the 2021 1040, and ditto with the 2022 1040? This is how the $3,000 reduces your income, and you are expected to keep track of the carryover since there is no need for a Schedule D.
If line 7 was not used in either year, then there must have been something else, like your AGI being too low to allow you to use the carryover.
