Yes, $3,000 per year until used. However, when you have capital gains, the losses will also help offset them. So, if you have $10,000 in capital gains next year, you will use $10,000 of the losses to offset that and then take the $3,000 allowed loss on your return. Therefore, you would have used $13,000 of the losses in that one year.
