Do not remove Schedule D. The IRS allows you to claim up to $3,000 per year ($1,500 if married filing separately) of capital losses against ordinary income even if you did not have any capital gains or losses for 2022.
You can continue to claim a capital loss carryforward until it is used up, either from capital gains or the $3,000 deduction.
Thank you for your response. The capital loss has been used up and I have nothing further to carry forward. However, on turbo tax it is using schedule D with zero as the loss and forcing me to upgrade to Premier. When I try edit, it defaults to upgrade for $89. How do I eliminate schedule D being attached?
