Jack Bender · Answer 1

up to 3,000 short term gain carry over for the next year if not used in the current year against other source of income.

Explanation:

short term capital loss (42,000)

long term capital gain 26,000

net capital loss (16,000)

Then, from this amount of 16,000 loss we can carry over up to 3,000 dollars to other kind of income like wages or interest income.
