How to put in capital loss carryover in TurboTax online

prague1st — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 03:16:54 GMT

I have ~$5000 long term capital loss in 2024. $3000 of which was reported in last year's tax return, with ~$2000 carry over to this year (tax year 2025). However, in turbotax online, i tried 'Federal' -> 'Wages & Income' -> 'Investment & savings', but there is no place for my to input this $2000 carryover loss. Can you help me find out where to find it?

I was not using turbotax for the previous year's tax return. Also i'm using the 'do it yourself' premium version this year if that helps.

Here's a navigation shortcut to get to the capital loss carryover section in Online TurboTax. Have your 2024 tax return handy to refer to when you go through this.

With your 2025 return interview open, go to left menu column and choose TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
In the Tools window choose the blue button TOPIC SEARCH.
In the topic search line enter the phrase capital loss carryover without quotes.
Make the selection in the results, and either double-click on it, or click GO.
Next screen: "Do you have investment losses you couldn't claim last year?" Also watch the video you are presented there.
Then continue answering the screens in that topic.
