Deductions & credits

I understand that i don't enter any additional state and local taxes beyond April, the month i max out.

My question now is;  do i adjust the April state and local tax numbers so that for the period ending May, I max out at the $10K cap?   

I think that's what I need to do, i am looking for an expert opinion to confirm my suspicion.

 

Along the same lines, I have a capital loss carryover.  I finally have enough gains in December to offset the carryover loss.

So, my question is:  Do i reduce the amount of capital gains for that period, which is the one that I have enough gains to offset the loss?   Or do I divide the loss by 12 and apply a little of it across the year?

 

You have been helpful.  PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND TO THESE QUESTIONS!

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE.
