Can you revise earlier tax returns to use excess capital losses?
If you mean that you had a capital loss this year can you carry the capital loss back to a previous year, the answer is no unless you are a corporation. However, anyone except a corporation can carry a net capital loss forward to the next year after taking the mandatory up to $3000 deduction against ordinary income. Use the capital loss carryover worksheet in the next year's Schedule D instructions to learn how much you can carry over to the next year. If you mean can you revise a previous year's return to claim a capital loss you neglected to previously claim, the answer is yes. But generally, you can only claim a refund for up to three years after the original due date. This is extended to seven years for a claim resulting from worthless stock.

What is if any the maximum allowable short term capital losses you can claim on your taxes?
You can claim a maximum capital loss of $3,000 each year and carry any remaining capital loss forward. This is AFTER netting it against capital gains. So if you have $20,000 capital loss and $15,000 in capital gains, your net would be a $5,000 loss. You can claim $3,000 of that loss this year and $2,000 next year. NOTE: The question states "short term capital losses" - no such animal. Until you hold the asset for a year or more, any gain or loss irealized from the sale of that asset s considered netted against your ordinary income. After a year the gain or loss is long term, or capital, and a long term loss can be used to off-set any capital gains to the full extent of your current yerar capital gains. If your capital loss exceeds the capital gains, you can apply up to $3,000 of the additional capital loss against your ordinary income. Any additional loss over $3,000 in the current year would roll forward to by used in future years.
