Question on loss carryover to 2025

[Mitzy20]

I don't understand how the capital loss carryover to 2025 was calculated

I have a capital loss carryover from 2023 of $22,678.

I also have a capital loss of -2,064 in 2024.

TT indicates it applied $3,000 against ordinary income, which I understand.

However TT indicates the loss carryover to 2025 is -20,618 after applying $4,124.

Where can I see where the 4,124 came from? (see snapshot).

And how do the numbers shown calculate out to a carryover of -$20,618?

You have a carryover of 22,678 from 2023 to 2024 and a capital loss for 2024 of 2,064 so a total of 24,742 loss.

You must have had a 2024 gain of 1,124 so 1,124 of the loss can be applied that and 3,000 can be applied against your ordinary income. So 4,124 to 2024, that leaves 20,618 to be carried forward to 2025. 

(24,742 - 1,124 - 3,000 = 20,618)

Please look at your Schedule D for the 1,124 loss taken.
