No, you cannot take the loss from 2013 and put it on your 2016 tax return; the IRS doesn't allow you to skip the years for capital loss carryover purposes.
You should amend 2014 and 2015 tax years and report any carryover losses that were unused from 2013 tax year. Only then, whatever is left can be claimed on your 2016 tax return.
As to the proof - you don't have to submit any additional documents, the IRS does have your tax return for 2013 where the original carryover loss is reported and you will type an explanation for the amendments. As to the submission...amendments are to be printed and mailed, per IRS. Electronic amendments are not allowed.
