You are correct that you can deduct $3,000 a year of your Capital Loss Carryover.

Did you sell any Business Property for a Gain? 

Since we can't see your return in this forum, I would suggest you look at your Schedule D, Capital Gains & Losses Worksheet to see how the calculations were done.

You can View/Download/Print to view this worksheet once you have paid your return.

Type 'carryover' and 'Jump to carryover' to review this section.
