I had $630 in short term cap gains in 2020 (1040 line 7 and Sch D pg 2 line 16), line 21 on Sch D pg 2 is blank. I have no earned income, don't pay income taxes, only get non-taxable SSDI benefits, only had a little interest income and ordinary dividend income, no long term cap gains in 2020. Cap loss carryovers aren't supposed to be "use or lose", but my 2020 return show no carryover losses on Sch D. On the 2020 Capital Loss Carryforward worksheet lines 2 and 13 under "regular tax" carryover loss is blank, but under the "AMT Tax" column it shows $2077 (2019 and 2020 worksheets both show that number in the AMT column), line 9 is zero for first column and $2696 for the AMT column. Just looked at that worksheet from my 2019 taxes and now I'm really confused - line 9 and line 13 show zero carryforward for 2020 regular taxes, but under AMT tax lines 9 and 13 show $2969, and again line 2 under AMT it shows $2077. So the question is do I actually still have a cap loss carryover for 2021 or not - I believe I should?
