Why is that the 1231 carryovers form doesn't ask for which property the noncaptured loss was for and filling it out doesn't affect tax amount either?

I sold a rental so I filled a home sale in the income section. Now the noncaptured loss for the past 5 years however need to be taken care of in the 1231 carryovers so I was told. I need help with this form.

1231 losses  in the year generated are deductible.  However, to prevent taxpayers from tax manipulation what the tax laws want is to tax as ordinary income subsequent 1231 gains up to the amount of current and prior year 1231 losses. the non recaptured losses appear on line 8 of form 4797
