I am curious where the code says you can't hold your losses. For
example, if I had long-term capital losses in 2007, declared $3000 on
my 2007 return, and carried forward $X to 2008, where does the code
say I must use $3000 of those $X lossses in 2008 and not carry the
full $X into 2009? ( I have enough to declare in 2008, 2009, and into
2010 at this point in time, but curious).

You can not elect to forgo a capital loss carryforward in order
to carry the loss forward to later years.

Default Carryforward Losses

IRS Federal Return 2009

I have carryforward capital loses from a stock sale in 2008 (who doesn't!).

I don't want to use any of the loses against my income in 2009.

Am I *required* to use them in 2009 if I don't want to lose them?

Or am I allowed to carry them forward until I want to use them?

Thanks for any help.
