You do have a capital loss carryover this year, even if it doesn't reduce this year's tax. As VolvoGirl said, you have to carry it over from year to year. You cannot skip a year. Since you cannot report a capital loss carryover in TurboTax Free Edition, you will not be able to use Free Edition until you have used up the entire capital loss carryover. If your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is $79,000 or less you might be able to file for free using IRS Free File.
I would not advise omitting the capital loss carryover from your 2023 tax return. If you claim a capital loss carryover on your 2024 tax return, but there is no capital loss on your 2023 tax return, I assume that the IRS would disallow the carryover for 2024. It's easy enough for them to check the immediately preceding year. They are not going to search earlier years to see if there is a capital loss that you did not carry over.
