    Each year you can have a maximum capital loss of $3k, and the excess is carried to the next year. Your long-term losses that are carried to next year are used to offset long term gains, and your short term carry-forward losses are used against any short term gains. If the result is a loss, it offsets your ordinary income (up to the $3K max).
