Question

Carry over captial gain loss from 2020

I failed to correctly report my capital gain loss in 2020 and the IRS brought to my attention after 2021 tax return was filed.  I worked with the IRS to correct my 2020 return; however, I was only able to deduct $3000 of a total $17,000 loss. Now I would like to carry over my $14,000 loss to my 2022 tax return. Is this possible and how might I go about this? I suspect I need to complete a "Capital Loss Carryover worksheet"?

 

Thanks,

 

Patrick

    TurboTax does the worksheet calculation for you.

    You just have to enter the Short Term and Long Term remaining amounts from the previous tax return.
