can i just offset the $468 or do i have to use the max deduction every year?
Do you have capital loss carryovers from previous years? That may explain the difference.
you must have had a capital loss carryover of more than $3468. $468 is used to offset the gain and then up to $3000 of any loss remaining must be used. line 7 of schedule D should reflect a negative $3000
