Attached is a screen shot of what I mean. I should have over 6000 to use as a capital loss carryover from last year and I have nothing in the 2018 box??? see screen shot.
On the income page The 2018 column shows the carryover to 2019 (not your current loss for 2018). Schedule D doesn't actually show the carryover amount. To find your Capital Loss Carryover amount you need to look at your return schedule D page 2. Line 16 will be your total loss and line 21 should be a max loss of 3,000. The difference between line 16 and 21 is the carryover loss for next year.
There is also a Carryover Worksheet showing the carryover from the prior year and the current amounts. Then there is also the Capital Loss Carry Forward worksheet showing the amount transferring over to next year.
In the Online version you have to save your return with all the worksheet as a pdf file to your computer to see the Capital Loss Carry Over and Carry Forward worksheets.
In the Desktop program you can go to Forms and find it in the list in the left column.
Did you transfer in the 2017 return to 2018?
Your 2017 return shows a -$3,000 on the front of the Form 1040 correct?
my 2017 capital loss carryover summary says $7,111 for 2017 and my 1040 show $3,000 in box 13
