there are several types of loss carryover. capital loss, net operating loss, and passive activity loss. which is yours?
The capital loss carry over form the previous year shows on Schedule D. Even if you had no stock sales for 2019, TurboTax would generate Schedule D just for the carry over.
For 2019 2020 and 2021, long term capital loss carry over shows on line 14 of Schedule D and Short-term capital loss carryover on line 6.
TurboTax will also do a capital loss carryforward worksheet to show the amount that carries to the next year, Although, in most cases, that amount is discernable on Schedule D.
