If you sold your personal item(s) for a loss, that loss cannot offset other income on your tax return like capital loss items (stocks).
If you sold your personal item(s) for a gain, then you’ll need to pay short or long term capital gains tax on it, depending on how long you held the item. This is why you should enter each item separately and not net them together.
