I have a client that is filing as single in 2023 and she passed away in 2023.   She has stock losses of $3,700 and I would like to take the entire loss instead of just $3,000.   Does anyone know how to enter this in ProSeries?   Thank you in advance

She took the extra losses with her to that big 1040 in the sky.

I had a client who died with a $200K capital loss carryover.  I was sorry for her loss.
