    If you used TurboTax last year, that loss should have been carried over.  Here is how to enter it if it did not.

     

    For the Federal Capital Loss Carryover you would go to:

    1. INCOME
    2. I'll choose what I work on
    3. Scroll to Investment Income 
    4. Select Capital Loss Carryover

    Your losses will be allocated and then accumulate internal to the TurboTax program
