I have gone round and round on this site trying to get an answer to a very similar question. Today I found my own answer.
I went through every FORM in my TT Fed& CA returns. There is a CA worksheet, Sch E Wks (name of property). In it is found the gain/loss, carryover from earlier and to future returns. I have verified that having a loss or 0 in the slot in question mane n difference.
