My capital loss carryover for 2017 was $39,007 short term loss and $32,999 long term loss which sowed as $72,006 total on line 16. After taking the $3000 maximum loss for 2017, the carryover capital loss for 2018 should have been $69,006.
For 2018 I had a short term capital gain of $3188, but did not show an import of any capital loss carryover from 2017 an a long term capital loss of $9877 with an import of a long term carryover of only $9878. The result was a capital loss carryover on lone 16 of only $7854. This was clearly a computer programming error for importing insufficient capital losses for both short and long term from 2017 to 2018.
This continued to 2019 where I had no short term capital gain of loss and with no carryover loss and a long term capital loss of $1752 with a loss carryover of only $4854 for a long term capital loss of only $6810. This resulted in a total loss on line 16 of only $6810.
How does this get corrected for years 2018 and 2019 so it will be correct when I submit my 2020 taxes?
