What is Pyrrhic, Alex.
I'll take Greek Etymology for $400...
tool offset drill offset
Increment or decrement the pointer by the required offset.
On a differential amplifier while there is some voltage offset there is also current offset which is dependent on the value of the F/B resistance the bigger value the more offset.
Non-zero initial condition is called DC offset. DC offset is bad, and needs to be removed by HP filter as they cause distortion, non-linearity. If the mean/average amplitude of the wave is zero it has no DC-offset.
Base plus displacement.
Yes
A capital gain and a dividend are two different things completely. You can offset a Capital Gain with Capital Losses, but you cannot offset dividends with capital losses. They are different items and are reported on different forms.
can long term gains be offset by short term losses
Ah, I've found it. It is called "pyrrhic victory."
No, dividends, while taxed similarly now, are not capital gains. Capital losses only offset capital gains, EXCEPT - up to 3K a year of unused capital losses may be applied against ordinary income...which because of the rate differential, is really a nice advantage.
Short offset shorts first, then they offset longs. Your better to have them offset short, as short is taxed at ordinary rate and long at special lower rate. A stock sale is a capital gain/loss transaction.
No you cannot apply for non-capital losses against dividend income. Capital losses only offset capital gains up to 3K a year capital losses may be used against ordinary income.
It was for the British what is known as a pyrrhic victory - the losses inflicted were so great that it cost them more than what they gained from winning the battle.
A loss (or losses) from previous years carried forward in order to offset future earnings. This reduces the tax burden for the years with profit as the accummulated losses are deducted from the taxable profit-
If this is a question about income tax losses go to www.irs.gov and use the search box for type LOSSES Some business losses offset other income. Some rental income can offset other income. CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES Sale of assets offset each other and after that is done any remaining loss can use to offset ordinary income up to the 3000 maximum per year on a MFJ income tax form and any reaming loss after that can be carried forward into future years in the same way until the loss is used up.
It would make sense for people seeking capital gains to offset previous year losses.
