we can't see the returns so don't know what happened. however, up to $3,000 of net capital losses can be used each year to offset ordinary income thereby reducing any carryforward. it can take the IRS 4 to 6 months maybe more to fully process the return.
If we do not get any resolution from IRS by then, can we take that Capital Loss Carryforward in her 2020 return and then amend the 2020 return, if indeed IRS finally processes the 2019 Amended return? We don't want to lose the Capital Loss Carryforward.
if you take what you believe to be her correct CLCF on her 2020 return there's nothing to amend unless the IRS changes it.
