If you didn't use TurboTax last year, then you will have to manually add this information.

Easiest way to get to this section is to -

Log into your account
Click Take Me to My return (you must click this first before searching)
Click the search icon in the top right hand corner (magnifying glass)
Search for "capital loss carryover" and click the "jump to" link
You will get the series of screens below (see attached screenshots) where you can enter your known amounts
If you don't know your amounts, then use the other option and TurboTax will help you figure them out - you will need your prior year Schedule D and Form 1040.

Alternatively to the search method, you can get to the same section by clicking the tabs Federal tax -> Wages and Income -> Investment Income (you may need to click "Check for More" or "Show All" to get full list of income items to appear) -> Capital Loss Carryover (see last screenshot)
