I was carrying a capital gains loss and taking a -3000 dollar deduction each year but this capital loss carry issue hasn't come up in my filing with turbo tax?

[Coleen3]

Did you have capital gains to offset it? Are there any remaining losses if you had?

[cossh5tax]

this year I had capital gains of 8,798.64. From last years return I am carrying over a capital loss of 56,260. I want to make sure I use my 3000 deduction and document the capital loss carry over?

[cossh5tax]

correction, I am carrying a capital loss of 88.966.00

[Coleen3]

You can manually enter the amount if it did not transfer over.

[cossh5tax]

can I start the review process and see if it carried over, I just don't see how it could have as I used HR Block last year?

[Coleen3]

Yes. Plus, see my answer.
