An individual reports the following capital transactions in the current year:
  Short-term capital gain $1,000
  Short-term capital loss $11,000
  Long-term capital gain $10,000
  Long-term capital loss $6,000
  What amount is deducted in arriving at adjusted gross income?
  A. $10,000
  B. $6,000
  C. $3,000
  D. $0
  Answer:C
  This answer is correct. An individual taxpayer can deduct up to $3,000 of net capital loss in computing AGI. Here, there is a net short-term capital loss of $10,000, and a net long-term capital gain of $4,000, resulting in a net capital loss of $6,000. $3,000 of the net capital loss can be currently deducted, with the remaining $3,000 of short-term capital loss carried forward.
