The capital loss from your stock sale will first be offset by any capital gain. Any unused loss is then deducted from regular income which includes your IRA distribution to a maximum amount of $3,000. Any loss left is carried over to subsequent years.

Q. Can I write off stock losses from individual brokerage account against distribution from a simple IRA?

A. No, at least, not directly.

Capital losses, up to $3000, can be deducted against other ordinary income, including taxable retirement account distributions, including IRAs.
