  • Capital loss carryover

    From Stan Brown@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 3 10:56:25 2022
    On the capital loss carryover worksheet for the 2021 tax year, line 4
    says "Enter the smaller of line 2 or line 3b"

    (The worksheet is at <https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040sd#idm140303378761488> in
    HTML, and this line is the same in the PDF instructions.)

    Only problem is, I can't find any line 3b, neither in the worksheet
    nor in Schedule D. Is that a typo for "line 2 or line 3", or have I
    missed something?

    (The PDF instructions for the 2020 tax year have the same typo, if
    it's a typo.)

    It's a typo. It should say "line 2 or line 3."

    The 2019 instructions have it right.

    Great, Bob! Thanks! I think that's the first typo I've ever noticed
    in IRS instructions.
