Can I use my net loss from my stocks that were sold to not pay taxes?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax,

As per CRA, if you have a capital loss, you can use it to offset capital gains and lower your income accordingly. However, if you don’t have capital gains, (If you still have a loss) it becomes part of the computation of your net capital loss for the year. You can use a net capital loss to reduce your taxable capital gain in any of the 3 preceding years or in any future year.
