Virginia owns 100% of Goshawk Company. In the current year, Goshawk Company sells a capital asset (held for three years) at a loss of $40,000. In addition, Goshawk has a short-term capital gain of $18,000 and net operating income of $90,000 during the year. Virginia has no recognized capital gain (or loss) before considering her ownership in Goshawk. How much of the capital loss may be deducted for the year, and how much is carried back or forward if Goshawk is (a) a proprietorship and (b) a C corporation

a. IF Goshawk Company is a sole proprietorship, it will deduct a total of $21,000 ($18,000 offset against the capital gain and $3,000 deducted from net operating income) of the $40,000 capital loss and carry forward the remaining $19,000 to subsequent years.

b. IF Goshawk Company is a C corporation, it will carry back and forward the remaining $22,000 to be deducted from its net operating income for previous or future years, after offsetting $18,000 from the $18,000 short-term capital gain.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Long-term capital loss = $40,000

Short-term capital gain = $18,000

Capital loss remaining = $22,000 ($40,000 - $18,000)

Net operating income = $90,000
