Yes, to claim losses for carry-forward treatment, you will need to file tax returns for all previous years. The losses will accumulate until until the loss is
used up, either by reducing your taxable income or netted against capital
gains.
You can deduct up to
$3,000 in capital
losses each year ($1,500 if you're married filing separately).

do I enter my capital loss carryover?
