Do you need to enter the Capital Loss Carryover from 2023?

Enter a Capital Loss Carryover under

Federal Taxes or Personal (Home & Business)

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Investment Income

Capital Loss Carryovers - Click the Start or Update button

You enter the full amount that carried over, not just the 3,000

 

You get to first offset the loss against any gains you have each year so that can use more of it up.  Then after applying the loss to the current gains if you still have a loss, you can take a max loss of 3,000 (1,500 MFS) per year on your tax return.  Turbo Tax does all the calculations for you.  Just enter the full prior year carryover amount.
