@ronk3737  Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program.  Where is it showing 0?  Could it be this?   On the income page The 2025 column shows the carryover to 2026 (not your current loss for 2025). Schedule D doesn't actually show the carryover amount. To find your Capital Loss Carryover amount you need to look at your return schedule D page 2. Line 16 will be your total loss and line 21 should be a max loss of 3,000. The difference between line 16 and 21 is the carryover loss for next year. But if you have a negative AGI or negative taxable income it will show up on 1040 BUT it won't reduce the carryover to the next year.

@ladyksadness1     You can use the same email address for 5 accounts and returns. You can start another return in TurboTax Online by: Logging out if you are in your account Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/online Create your account screen Set up a new login for the second return Start working on the new return

Double would only be 736.   There might be another form you entered like a K-1.   Go back though and check all your 1099Int and 1099Div forms.  Maybe you entered a interest as a dividend.  Did  you import any forms?  It might have imported wrong.  

So do you have another business you are reporting for 2025?  Make sure you are entering expenses and home office under the right business.  You can probably delete the old business.   Some expenses, such as home office or section 179 depreciation can only be used to reduce your schedule C taxable income to zero, and not to create a loss. Excess deductions for these carry over to the next year. And you have to answer yes to both questions about exclusive and regular use, not just one. The area of your home office must be used regularly and exclusively for business to deduct it.   Or you checked the box on Schedule C line 32b saying Some Investment is Not at Risk.

Who is your 1099 from?  Why do you have sales on a 1099Div?   You might have a consolidated statement.  That will have sections for 1099-Int and 1099-Div and 1099B  and 1099 OID, etc.   You need to enter each section in the right place. So read it carefully and look for headings.... 1099-INT for interest or 1099-DIV for Dividends or 1099B for sales.

All 1099R forms are entered the same way and same place.  The only thing that tells it is an IRA is the checkmark in the little IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box between boxes 7 & 8.  If it's asking for the RMD for a pension it's whatever they send you. Say all of it is the RMD. If you have a RMD requirement it will ask you if it is the RMD. Say yes and enter the amount as the RMD amount. The pension doesn't need to calculate any RMD. Anything your pension pays you is considered to be the RMD. Traditional pensions automatically fulfill the rules of an RMD. So just enter the same amount in box 1 for the RMD for each 1099R. 

1/31/26 See this answer by an Employee Expert https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/business-taxes/discussion/how-do-i-change-schedule-c-box-32a/01/3747701 If you have money NOT at risk of losing, you can not take a loss on schedule C. If you don't know what it means then probably All your Investment is at Risk (check Box 32a). It means you are using your own money for the business. People usually check the wrong box. If you need to find where to change the At Risk box on Schedule C line 32 here are my old notes. Hopefully they still work or will get you close. Go back to your Self-Employment Income. Click on Edit to review your business entries. Then scroll down to Uncommon Situations, click Edit and check or uncheck the box. If your investment is at risk, don't check the box. You may need to delete Form 6198 if you had the box checked and are now unchecking it. How to delete forms https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/view-delete-forms-turbotax-online/L7SZhwCHv_US_en_US?uid=lgn2u570 You can get back to the question about your business investment being at risk by going to the Schedule C and finding the Final Details > Special Situations section (if using TurboTax Home and Business) or the Uncommon Situations section (if using TurboTax Online). One user said…. Scroll to the bottom of the screen until you see the Uncommon Situations section, then click Start or Edit beside Carryovers, limitations, at risk information. Within those sections, there will be a check-box to indicate 'I have money invested in this business that I'm not at risk of losing; that is, certain cash, property, or borrowed amounts that are protected from loss.' Uncheck that box if your investment in your business is not at risk.
