Yes, an individual can use ordinary losses to offset capital gains. Specifically, if an individual has an ordinary loss from a business or other trade, it can be deducted against ordinary income, which may include capital gains. However, capital losses can only offset capital gains. If the ordinary loss exceeds capital gains, the excess can typically be used to offset ordinary income, subject to certain limitations.
