There is a capital loss carryover worksheet.

 

See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040sd#en_US_2022_publink24331id0e493

 

TurboTax will calculate the carryforward losses for you, typically.

Do you know the amount from 2022 that is carried over to 2023?  You don't need separate amounts from 2021 and 2022.  There is only one carryover amount each year to the next year.  The 2021 loss should be included in the 2022 loss and the new carryover amount goes to 2023.

 

If it didn’t transfer over from last year then
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 Start or Revisit

 

Do you need to find the amount?  

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.


If you used the desktop version or have the complete pdf of your last year's return you might have the Capital Loss CO (carryover) worksheet that will tell you the amount.

 

In the Online version you have to save your return with all the worksheet as a pdf file to your computer to see the Capital Loss carry over worksheet. There might be 2. There is a Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet showing the carryover from the prior year and the current amounts. Then there is also the Capital Loss Carry Forward worksheet showing the amount transferring over to 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.
