Question

Why are my Capital Losses (UNDER $3000) being carried over to 2023?

I have Proceeds of $988.79 and a Cost Basis of $2,087.67 for a Capital LOSS of $-1,098.88. Why is TurboTax 2022 trying to carry over all of that to 2023 and leaving some weird $2 for 2022? I do NOT have anything close to $3,000 in gains, losses, or anything. This is it. Please see screenshot. Thank you.

This happens when your AGI is very low or zero.

what is on Line 11 of Form 1040?  I suspect it is zero and only $2 was required to reduce it to zerol hence the rest is carried over to 2023.

-100 is reported on Line 11. I had the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion as well as those Capital Losses, so I guess that would be why. Thanks 🙂
