Although I appreciate the advice, my real question is why did the software stop carrying this information over via the transfer of the prior year return. Yes, it should be checked every year, but the software should at least carry over what it had for the prior year like it used to. I'm sure a very high percentage of people do not file amended returns, and those that might can use TT for that too. I think the taxpayer is at risk of losing or misrepresenting loss carryforwards if they aren't paying attention. Then you're filing something that when fixed might not track to a prior year return carryforward if you use TT. It's just basic stuff to me and it wasn't like this before.
