Rental property carryover loss

Hi Everyone, I found the calculation of Rental property carryover loss is not correct. for example, My only rental property made 3000 net profit for 2022 and I have 10k carryover loss from 2021 but it only allows me to deduct 1000 so I need to pay tax on 3000 profit - 1000 allowed carryover loss = 2000 need to pay tax. I am fine with this part. However my new carryover loss becomes 7000. This is not right. I have 10k carryover loss from 2021 and you only allowed to use 1000 so I should still have 9000 remaining. but turbotax used  10000-3000 (the total profit I make to reduce my carryover loss. I think they messed up here. Did anyone notice this? Did you guys track your carryover loss? Please check it up to see if it's correct.
