Why can't I deduct all my capital losses?
The IRS lets you deduct up to $3,000 in capital losses each year from your regular income ($1,500 if you're married filing separately).
In some cases, you may not be able to deduct the full amount in one year due to IRS limitations based on your income. For example, if your income is very low, you may only be able to use part of the loss this year. The rest will be carried forward to future years.
If you have a capital loss carryover, we will include it on your return next year if you file with us.
