Yes.  See the example in this web reference:

**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.

Yes.  You get to first offset the loss against any gains you have each year so that can use more of it up. Then after applying the loss to the current gains you can take a max loss of 3,000 per year.
