Respuesta :

Answer:

$3,000

Explanation:

We know that if the capital loss is greater then Capital gain. the Excess amount may be deducted up to $3,000 and if any amount remains that will be deducted in next year.

In this situation  Total Short term capital loss = $11,000 - $1,000

                                                                          = $10,000

Total long term capital gain = $10,000 - $6,000

                                             = $4,000

The total amount of deducting during the year is $3000.

Remain $3,000 will be deducted in next year.
