I can only carry forward $3000 a year in losses. I would rather offset the loss with the sale of my stocks if the event is tax neutral in the current year. To be specific, I have $34k in worthless investment that would take over 11 years to deferred. I am not interested in doing that and would rather sell stocks if I can offset the capital gains in the current year.
I have more stocks than losses so my intention is to sell an equal amount of stocks to match the $34k in losses to make the event tax neutral, if this is possible.
