If an individual has a capital loss in 2008 can he carry it back to a 2005 capital gain tax paid?
No. But you can use $3000 of the capital loss to offset current year ordinary income and then carry the rest forward. Be sure to fill out the capital loss carryover worksheet in the Schedule D instructions before you enter a carryover from the previous year. The carryover rules are some of the most confusing for taxpayers and taxpayers cheat themselves out of a lot of carryover. Don't assume you know the right amount to carry over. Use the worksheet.
