Do you mean you had a carryover loss of more than $3000 from last year's tax return?
If so, the next issue is what is your total gain for al the stock you sold in 2018. IF the 2018 data was a loss, then it is possible/probable that only 3,000 will be used this year, no matter which year it came from.
I tested the Desktop Premier with a situation with 37,000 of 2018 LT gains, and 4000 of LT carryover losses, and the software used the entire 4000 loss on the forms...reducing the gain to 33,000 on both the schedule D and the Schedule 1.
(...though I'm not up on dealing with short-term vs long term losses)
