set-off. Capital gains and losses will OFFSET each other on the schedule D of the 1040 tax form. That would mean that that the loss would be subtracted from the gain reducing the amount of the gain for the tax year.

And if you have any remaining loss after completing the schedule D correctly that amount of loss up to the 3000 maximum amount would be used to OFFSET (set-off) (subtract) from your ordinary income amount on your 1040 income tax return reducing your total income and also will reduce your taxable income and will also reduce your federal income tax liability on your federal income tax return.

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.

Can you have a negative corporate tax rate?

Yes, a negative corporate tax rate can occur when a company receives more tax benefits or credits than it owes in taxes, resulting in a net credit. This situation often arises due to significant tax deductions, losses carried forward from previous years, or incentives for research and development. While it is technically possible, a negative tax rate does not mean the company is exempt from taxes; rather, it indicates that it may receive a refund or credit from the government.

What does it mean when claim is subject to setoff in bankruptcy 7 case?

Example: you, a debtor, owe me $10,000. I owe you $5,000. I can set off my debt to you, meaning that you cannot collect the $5,000 I owe you. Your debt to me is reduced to $5,000. The most common type of setoff involves a bank. Your deposits in a bank constitute the bank's obligation to you. If you owe the bank $100,000, and the bank has $5,000 in deposits from you, it can zap your $5,000, and now you owe the bank $95,000.

Does capitol loss carry forward only apply to future capitol gainsor can they be used to reduce earned income as well?

As you know, when you have a net capital loss for the year, you use the first $3000 of the loss as a deduction from ordinary income (ordinary income includes earned income) and carry the rest forward to the next year. The amount you carry forward to the next year is treated exactly as if it were a capital loss that was incurred in the next year. For example, if you carry forward $10,000, it is treated exactly the same as if you sold a stock for a $10,000 loss in the year you carry it forward to. That means that you first have to use it to offset any new capital gains in the year, then if there is any loss left, you apply up to $3000 against ordinary income, then if there is still any left, you carry it forward to the year after that. Always fill out the capital loss carryover worksheet in the Schedule D instructions to determine how much you have carried over. Never assume you know the right amount before filling out the worksheet. Even though you may have to enter -$3000 on the front of Form 1040, that does not always mean you have used up $3000 of your loss.
