In the publications on the IRS web site, the worksheet in Publication 550 speaks about carrying losses forward from 2010 to 2011. However, the instructions for Form 1040 Schedule D give the instructions for carrying forward from 2009 to 2010. Why the difference? Either they should both talk about the carryover that can be used next year from this year's return, or about the carryover from last year's return to this year. Or so I would think.
