Mark W | I sell a stock from my portfolio and take a 50 percent loss... come tax form..? |
I'm going to make this reallly simple..
If I have say 10K of apple stock and it's only worth 5K now.. and I decide to sell it and take a 50 percent loss.. can you tell me in a rough estimate idea range how much I would likely be able to get back come claiming that loss on taxes..
I don't plan on selling, it seems too late to me at this point but I want to know since I hear about people doing that before and still now? I'm sure it's more complicated but given a simple investment/trade like that how much could one hope to get back.. realistically? |

I doubt you'll get anything back. You will simply report it as a capital loss. |

Wow, no idea, but I hope you haven't encountered a 50% loss! |

depends on a lot- when you bought it, what you paid for it, what you sold it for, when you sold it, profits, losses, it is too confusing |

The you can most deduct on a stock loss is $3,000 per year. If your loss was $5,000 you have to wait until next year to take that loss as a deduction. But know it does carry over, I have losses that will carry me over with a $3,000 a year loss for the rest of my life.
That should be a consolation UH!? |

It isn't that simple./ It depends on whether or not you have any gains
and what your tax bracket is. It could make a big difference or no difference at all |

You won't get anything back, but you can claim up to $3,000.00 as a loss against other gains (so you won't have to pay as much tax). The other $2,000.00 will carry over to next year. |

you can only deduct up to 3k of loss |

What happens is you deduct the loss from the stock(AAPL) from your other sources of income. You pay taxes on the final net value. You should know that if you do decide to sell that you cannot buy this back for 30 days. This is a wash sale rule. If you buy the stock back within 30 days you cannot claim the loss generated from the stock(AAPL).
I think the maximum you can claim on stock losses is $3000.00. You should double check this though as I'm not completely sure.
