In 2019, Paul, a single taxpayer, has taxable income of $30,000 exclusive of capital gains and losses. Paul incurred a $1,000 short-term capital loss and a $4,000 long-term capital loss. What is the amount of his long-term capital loss carryover to 2020?

=$2,000 ($1,000 + $4,000 - $3,000)

Explanation:

Capital loss carryover is the amount of net capital losses eligible to be carried forward into future tax years.

Net capital losses exceeding the $3,000 threshold can be carried forward to future tax years until exhausted.
