  • tax loss harvesting question

    I understand that there is a $3000 limit on capital loss that I can claim each year.
    1. If i made $5000 loss in 2022 and had total gain of $1000 in 2022. Loss - gain = 5000 - 1000 = 4000. When I file for taxes, can I claim only $3000 of the loss and the remaining $1000 loss i can only claim next year.
    Is my understanding correct ?

    2. Here is another situation.
    End of this year, if i have

    Short term loss - $5000
    Short term gain - $2000
    Long term loss - $10000
    Long term gain - $2000

    I understand the short term loss should be offset short term gain. So in this years tax filing, I can claim $3000 of loss but can I also claim long term loss OR $3000 is the limit for both short term + long term.

    Yes, you can only claim $3,000 net capital loss in any tax year. Some people still have hundreds of thousands of carryover left over from 2008/2009.

      but if you have some harvested wins you can wipe it all out

        Very true. Tax gain harvesting is a good thing.
