I am getting an error message on my review "net capital losses carrying fwd cannot be greater than your taxable capital gains".  They are not. They are equal to.  Therefore I should not get the error.  Do I ignore???

    Review the entries for the transactions that generated capital gains and losses in 2019.  You should not be reporting capital gains taxed in 2019 if you have a carryforward of net capital losses to 2020.  The capital losses and net capital loss carryforward from 2018 should be used to offset any taxable gain in 2019 (plus another $3,000 of net capital loss allowed in 2019) before the carryforward to 2020 is calculated.

    I have entered my information from 2018 with a loss carry forward of $16000 (approximately).  Yet, the $3000 does not register. What is happening?
