Next year when the OP uses TaxCut again (or another
software), he can import data from the previous year (name,
SSN, address, etc.), at which point the loss will be carried
forward.

This is correct.

No. You need to follow everything to the capital loss
carryforward worksheet. When you complete this worksheet,
you should see that you won't use the full $3000 (if fact,
you may not use any of it if you can claim your own personal
exemption.)

No. If you wind up with a neative number after applying
standard or itemized deductions, at least part of the line
13 loss will carry forward. I don't know where TaxCut stores
this information, but rummage around for some sort of
carryover worksheet.

Default Income <$3000, Capital LOSS >$3000 and TaxCut

Assume lines 7-12 of Form 1040 total to LESS than $3000 of
reported Income (and lines 14-21 are all 0) AND also
suffered a Capital LOSS greater than $3000 as reported on
line 16 of Sched D.

TaxCut assigns $3000 to line 21 on Sched D , and -$3000 to
line 13 on Form 1040. Furthermore, it sums lines 7 - 21 of
Form 1040, and reports a NEGATIVE NUMBER.

A) IS THIS CORRECT or should line 21, Sched D (and line 13,
Form 1040) be limited to the value of the Income (the sum
of 7-12).

B) MORE IMPORTANTLY am I going to LOSE any potential loss
carryover ($3000 - Reported Income) in future years??
