All personal tax returns are on a 1040 now.
If you are using the Online version, do NOT change anything on your return. You would have to start with a new account and do a test return. You don't have to pay unless you want to print it out.
Or Here's the link for the current TaxCaster tool:

How to start another return in the Online version
There is one thing you can do in your current return. You can go though the Estimated Tax section which will prepare estimated payments for next year. That may help you calculate what you might owe. You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return , click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say no to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section.
OR go to
Federal Taxes or Personal (H&B version)
Other Tax Situations
Other Tax Forms
Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes - Click the Start or Update button
To get back into your return, try this, you can sign back onto your account, and click on Add a State. This should get you back into your return.
The Desktop installed program could be used. It can do unlimited returns and has a What-If worksheet. You can also save and copy a return with another name to test in.
When using the taxcaster tool (https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/taxcaster/), enter your Net Operating Loss (NOL) as negative misc income. For example, if you have a $10,000 NOL, enter minus (-)10000 at the misc income box.
For tax purposes, you do not enter the loss amount shown on your 2018 Schedule C. A net operating loss is usually the negative number shown on line 7 of your 2018 form 1040.
Also note that your social security is not automatically untaxed. Social security becomes taxable when added to sufficient other income. If you are otherwise required to file a tax return, you do need to enter your SS in taxcaster. Taxcaster will determine the taxable portion.
your loss carryover can be used to offset your wage income.
