cannot input negative number (capital loss) in the Capital Gains Summary page

RustRoc — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 11:43:53 GMT

After I input a negative value at the box "Realized before June 25, 2024". The page encountered an error saying:

Please enter a dollar value greater than or equal to 0.00 in the format of 9,999.99 or 9999.99.

The Summary of capital gains table above, calculated automatically, is correct, though, with negative numbers shown.

Hi,

When you're on the summary page, you only need to enter the numbers for "realized before and after" boxes if the description text on the left applies to your situation (I've highlighted the entire area in the screenshot). The boxes can be left empty if it doesn't apply to you.

Hope this is helpful, thank you!
