Question for you tax savy folks.....
1. What happens when you are carrying forward a short-term loss, and then the next year you have some short-term gains and some long-term gains?
For example, if you have a $100,000 carryforward ST loss and then you make $20,000 in st gains and $30K in LT gains.
The $20K ST gain obviously is offset by the ST loss, but can you offset the LT gain with the ST loss?
