I can understand where some would want to hold on to the ability to take a $3000 writeoff but I see no scenario where that would be necessary. I am done with investments. So I am thinking that this year if I prepare a return with the numbers, and not even mention the carryover, but not file it (at that point it would be a "frivolous return"), it would show I neither pay tax or get a refund and have no carryover. This could go on indefinitely otherwise.
