It is always better to correct the error.  If you somehow accidentally took the carryover loss after it should have been all used up, you would be subject to interest and penalties for that year and potential fraud issues due to knowing and not fixing the problem when you found it.  So, yes, if  the error is in your favor, it is definitely better to correct the error.
