I'm reporting a fortune in losses on my 1099B for 2020.  Does this lower my income for the year for tax purposes?

    Yes, if you have more capital losses than gains, you can use up to $3,000 a year to offset ordinary income on federal income taxes, and carry over the rest to future years.

    All you need to do is enter the 1099-B information in the Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds and Other interview of Investment income

     

    Turbotax will calculate and apply the losses as appropriate, to include updating your loss carry-forward balance.
