Deductions & credits

Question No. 1 - Yes, in order to get the amounts to carryover, you will need to amend your 2021 return.  Amending your 2021 return to reflect the carryover loss may impact other items on your 2021 return.

 

Question No. 2 - No, amending 2021 so as to carryover your loss amount to 2022 should not prevent you from e-filing.  Before e-filing you will need to clear all errors.  

 

When preparing your 2022 return, try entering "capital loss carryover" (don't use the quotes)  in the search tool.  Then use the jump-to link to the screen reflecting your 2021 information.  You should be able to edit your carryover loss amounts on that screen.
