Can stock LOSSES transactions 2008 Be carried forward 2009 (year)

[ocean2026]

Yeah its been years since I had a losing year in the stock market but 2008 sucked. Can I carryforward the excess NET loss over gains and use them in 2009 or the future?

There is a limit on Capital Losses for each year. The rest must be carried over to future years. See page D-7 to fill out the worksheet, and enter the carryover on Schedule D.
