Claim a capital gain against a capital lose

[als528]

I was awarded a capital settlement against a capital investment loss.   I have been deducting $3000 the last two years. I need to list capital gain to off set the loss.

I filed a claim against a securities investment firm. I had a settlement. Now I am trying to enter the settlement to offset the loss.

Thanks!
