Jeff, you can off-set your long-term capital gains with your short-term capital losses. You first net your long-term capital gains and losses and your short-term capital gains and losses. If one group is a net gain and the other a net loss, the two are netted. If the result is still a loss, you can off-set other (non-capital income) up to $3,000 per year.

With your long-term (greater than 18 months holding period) capital gain tax rate of only 20% (federal rate only), it would be best to off-set the short-term capital loss against short-term capital gains.

Good luck!
