Answer:
$3,000
Explanation:
The IRS allows a head of household or joint filers to deduct from their gross income up to $3,000 as net capital losses in one year. If there exists any remaining amount it should be treated as long-term capital loss carryover for next year's taxes.
In this case Lee will be able to deduct $3,000 this year and the remaining $5,000 will remain as long-term capital loss carryover for 2020.
