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.

What is the maximum amount of long term capital loss that an individual can claim on its 2008 tax return?

You report ALL of your capital losses (long or short term) on your tax return. They are used to first offset all of your capital gains (no limit). If there is still a net capital loss remaining, you can deduct the smallest of the following from your ordinary income: 1) $3000 2) your net capital loss 3) your AGI (computed without including any capital gains or losses) minus your standard or itemized deductions, but not less than $0. The full amount not used is then carried over and treated as a new capital loss in the immediately following year. Always fill out the carryover worksheet in the Schedule D instructions to determine the amount carried over. Never assume that the answer is obvious.


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.

If a taxpayer is subject to passive loss limitations and has more than 150000 of modified AGI the maximum rental loss he or she can claim is?

If a taxpayer has a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeding $150,000, they are generally subject to passive loss limitations, which restrict the ability to deduct rental losses against other income. In this case, the maximum rental loss that can be claimed is limited to $0, as the ability to deduct rental losses phases out completely for taxpayers with modified AGI above $150,000. Therefore, any passive losses from rental activities cannot be deducted in the current tax year.

Iam glad to answer your question, No, your hospital cannot bill you for the balance.
