When is the cutoff date to claim capital losses

If I have an investment that was sold in February 2018 can I claim it as a loss on my 2017 tax return?

Unfortunately no. Capital gains and losses are claimed in the year of the sale date. Your February 2018 sales will have to be reported on your 2018 return.

Please feel free to post any additional details or questions in the comment section.
