Capital Loss carryover. Don’t forget to deduct your previous years Capital Loss from your taxes.

by ShimonAzar

If you sold stock or mutual funds at a loss, you can use the loss to offset capital gains you had from similar sales. If the net amount of all your gains and losses is a loss, you can report the loss on your return.

You can report current year net losses up to $3,000 — or $1,500 if married filing separately. Carry over net losses of more than $3,000 to next year’s return. You can carry over capital losses indefinitely.

Figure your allowable capital loss on Schedule D and enter it on Form 1040, Line 13.
