Answer #1

Per IRS, if a taxpayer has had a Net Capital Loss (Capital losses in excess of capital gains) during the year, they can deduct the loss upto a maximum of $3,000 from their earned income. The total loss for Logan during 2018 is $11,000 ($1,000 short term capital loss + $10,000 long term capital loss).

Hence, he can deduct upto $3,000 from the 2018 taxable income.

The remaining $8,000 ($11,000 - $3,000) is treated over as "Capital loss carryover" to 2019.

Please let me know if you have any questions via comments and all the best :)
