Your net capital gain/loss is calculated by subtracting your capital losses from your capital gains (Schedule D).

  • If you have a net capital loss, you're allowed to deduct up to $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately) per year as a capital loss.
  • If your net capital loss is more than the yearly limit, you can carry the loss to next year's return as a capital loss carryover.
