Short term gains and losses - married filing jointly
Hi,
I am wondering if I could do my taxes married filing separately this year and married filing jointly next year. We are concerned as my wife had huge short term losses but they would spread over years, so we were wondering if we do the taxes married filing jointly next year, can we carryover that short term losses and offset our income next year.
But if I combine with them with my gains this year and file jointly we have a net gain and don't have to deduct the losses from our income over the years.
Could you please let us know what our options could be. Really appreciate your insight
