Answer 1

Answer: The amount of carryover loss to 2018 ($45,000)

Explanation:

Net long term capital gain = $150,000

Net short term capital gain = $60,000

Net short term capital gain =$45,000

Net long term capital gain = $35,000

Net short term capital gain for 2017 $65,000 - Net long term capital loss for 2017 $250,000

= 65,000 - 250,000

= (185,000)

Prior year

Net short term capital gain + Net short term capital + Net long term capital gain

= 60,000 + 45,000 + 35,000

=140,000

The amount capital loss carryover

=- 185,000 +140,000

= (45,000)

Answer 2
