How do I include my capital loss carryover?

In 2022 I had a Long-term Capital Loss of $18,656.  I deducted $3k in 2022 and now have $15,656 remaining. 
 I want to deduct $3k again but I don't see where to put it? I didn't use TurboTax last year.

How do I include my capital loss carryover?

You get to first offset the loss against any gains you have each year so that can use more of it up.  Then after applying the loss to the current gains you can take a max loss of 3,000 (1,500 MFS)per year.  Turbo Tax does all the calculations for you.  Just enter the prior year carryover amount.

 

If you transferred your prior return it should be already filled in.

 

Enter a Capital Loss Carryover under

Federal Taxes or Personal (Home & Business)

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Investment Income

Capital Loss Carryovers - Click the Start or Update button

You enter the full amount that carried over, not just the 3,000

 

The 3,000 is just the max loss you can claim each year AFTER offsetting any gains you have.  So you might use more of it up in one year.
