What Is the Maximum Capital Loss Deduction Allowed against Ordinary Income per Year?

In the US, if an investor's total capital losses exceed their total capital gains, they can deduct a maximum of $3,000 (or $1,500 if married filing separately) of the net capital loss against their ordinary income (like wages) per year. Any remaining net loss can be carried forward to offset income in future tax years.
