You can type Capital Loss Carryover in the search bar and  TurboTax will provide a jump link for you to click and be brought right to the section of TurboTax to input the capital loss carryover.

When asked "Do you know your capital loss carryover amounts?", select yes.  If your prior year loss was carried over and you are not aware of it, you will see it on the next screen.

Thanks for answering this. It worked! Not sure why I can't transfer 2017 to 2018.
