If line 19900 of Schedule 3 is positive (a net capital gain), TurboTax automatically transfers it to line 12700 of your T1 General. If line 19900 of Schedule 3 is negative (a net capital loss), you cannot claim the loss this year. TurboTax stores this information on the Loss Worksheet (LOSS-WS) and carries it forward to next year's tax return. If you had a net capital gain in any of the previous 3 years, you may want to carry the loss back instead by completing Form T1A, Request for Loss Carryback.
