I have 1 CGT loss unclaimed & not reported as carry forward lose to ATO.

• In future it would be better if you complete all the sections of the capital gain section

How do I handle the reporting of these loss to ensure that I can use them in the upcoming return in the event of having CGT profit issues?

• Do CGT calculation and make sure you fill the boxes correctly
• (2025-26 instructions not out yet)
• MyTax 2025 - Capital Gains Section
• MyTax 2025 - Capital Gains Tax Schedule
• Paper Tax Return 2025 - Capital Gains Section
• Paper Tax Return 2025 - Capital Gains Schedule

Is there a time limit issue re reporting and/or claiming the losses?

• There shouldn't be, though keep records of the capital loss
