To apply your 2015 capital loss to your 2017 capital gain.

  • Use the Find button in the upper right to search and select Losses.
  • From the screen that appears, check the option Net Capital Loss Carry Forward and click Continue.
  • On the following screen enter the amount of your 2015 loss.

Once you have entered the loss, you have the option to apply the entire amount or a portion on the screen that follows.
