Question

Long term capital loss seem incorrect.

For 2022 through tax harvesting, I have a Short Term Capital Loss of $11,676.49 and Long Term of Capital Loss of $27,891.50. This is the only 1099-B I have and other capital loss/gains. 

 

When I check Turbotax's Total Capital Losses section, it only show total lost of $12,087.  When I check the 'How was my capital loss of $12,087 calculated?" The message is "This is the sum of your net short-term capital loss of $11,678 and your net long-term capital loss of $409."

 

The short term loss seem close enough, but how is long term loss only $409?  I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.  

 

Resolved:  I had Capital Gain Distribution in 1099-Div was offsetting the long term loss.
