Question

A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $6,000 of capital gains and $9,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Nill

Explanation:

Given that;

Capital gain tax = $6,000

Capital losses = $9,000

Net loss = Capital loss - Capital gain

Net loss = $9,000 - $6,000

Net loss = $3,000

Recall that maximum net loss deductible from taxes in a year is $3,000

Therefore,

Unsecured loss carried into next year

= Net loss - Deductible

= $3,000 - $3,000

= Nil
