lost my carry forward loss amount

[john-avery]

hello, where do I re enter my losses carry forward from years

[VolvoGirl]

How did you lose it?  Did it transfer over from 2023?  Where aren’t you seeing it?  Maybe you used it up this year or in prior years.  

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.

If you had a capital loss carryover from 2023, you can enter that loss by using the link below. This will confirm the loss is included in your tax return and that you have the correct figure.  Find the Schedule D worksheet from your 2023 tax return before you begin.

• How do I enter a capital loss carryover?

A maximum $3,000 loss is allowed if it is greater than that after taking into account any capital gains.  If you don't use it up in 2024, you will be allowed to carry the balance over to 2025.
