Yes, but there are limits. Losses on your investments are first used to offset capital gains of the same type. So short-term losses are first deducted against short-term gains, and long-term losses are deducted against long-term gains. Net losses of either type can then be deducted against the other kind of gain.

For additional information please see this TurboTax article, Capital Gains and Losses, which has been updated for Tax Year 2017.
