Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Thank you for sharing your 2022 and 2023 token files. Here is what I did.
I opened the 2022 file to see that there was indeed a long-term carryover loss for your state available on the tax forms.
Then I opened the 2023 file and went through the Massachusetts return to see the messaging on the screen telling you that if you used TurboTax in the prior year that your losses would be automatically included. I checked the actual tax forms to see that nothing had been entered for a carryover long-term loss. At this point I'm thinking that there must be an issue to report.
The next step I took was to use your 2022 tax file and start a new 2023 return from that file. I made no entries in the return except to start the Massachusetts return. Then, checking the forms that were created by starting the return, I could see that the long-term loss carryover had been entered. I also clicked the Data Source for that field and it showed it had been transferred from the 2022 file. (See the screenshot below.)
I cannot say what could have caused the value to not transfer correctly in your return, but it appears that the mechanism within the program to do so seems to be working. It is good that you discovered this and you were able to enter the amount manually, which is always an option.
