You might be thinking of an NOL, not an excess CL.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this question. I should
have done the experiment myself before asking it. Sure
enough, if you use the worksheet, you will find that none is
used up.

I thought it was after deductions, but before personal
exemptions.

Yes.

Yes again, kinda sorta. See the carryover worksheet in Pub
550. It sounds like the full amount will carry over to the
next year even though it's "used" this year.

He has to use it for 2003. There is no election for
deferring use.

Yes, there is no election to defer.

However, he also is supposed to calculate the capital loss
carryover for 2004, and that worksheet was moved this year
from the Form 1040 Schedule D Instructions and placed into
Pub 550.

When he completes the carryover worksheet he might find that
even though he declared and used his loss on his 2003
return, he might have some or even all of that loss carried
forward to 2004.

So complete the capital loss carryforward worksheet to see
if he really used up any loss or not. You might just be
pleasantly surprised.

He must use it.

If AGI less itemized or standard deductions is negative, and
less than the loss reported on line 13a (2003), the entire
amount (carried over from 2002 and incurred in 2003) is
carried over to 2004.

Did you fill out the capital loss carryover worksheet? In
the case you describe, you should discover that none of the
loss is actually used up, even though a loss is shown on the
cap gains line of 1040. (I believe that this year the
worksheet is in Pub 550 instead of in the Sched D
instructions. *sigh*)

No.

However, if is income after deductions but before exemptions
would have been zero or less even without counting the loss,
you'll find out none of the loss is actually used up.

Again, see the capital loss carryover worksheet.

It must go on the 2003 return. If he ends up (before
itemizing) with no income, then it will carry to 2004. Use
the Sch D worksheet from last year.

Yes - Must include, and no - cannot choose.

Yes - must include, and yes, use it in 2004 since it appears
that all of it will carry forward.

Default Can you "not use" capital loss in a particular year?

Client had some carryover from 2002 and incurred some more
in 2003 for a total of $2800. However, deductions far
exceeded AGI so client gets no benefit from using the loss
to further reduce our taxable income, already less than
zero.

1) Must he include the 2002 carryover in his 2003 tax
calculations or can he choose to use it when he has some
taxable income to offset?

2) Must he include the 2003 capital loss in his 2003 tax
calculations or can he use it for 2004 when he has some
taxable income to offset?
