Are you saying that you have a Schedule D capital loss carryover from 2018 that will carry to 2019? As dmertz said, first the capital loss carry over is applies to any new Schedule D gains and any reaming carryover will offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income. Any remaining capital loss will carry to 2020.
(You do know that you must report and use the $3,000 ordinary income capital loss reduction every year after the capital loss occurred without skipping a year, don't you? - assuming that you had a tax liability each year to offset.
