turbo tax will not let me remove "nonrecaptured section 1231 losses". i keep trying to 'uncheck' but cannot
why do you think that number should be removed? under the tax laws net unrecaptured 1231 losses (you got an ordinary loss deduction for these) remain as a carryforward to use against future 1231 gains (long-term capital gains). the objective of the laws is so not to get an ordinary benefit in early years and then a preferred tax rate on LTCG in future years.
