WF,
Is the $3000 limit net of margin and transaction costs? In other words, with this example:

A 10,000 gain
B(13,000)loss
C (1,000)transaction fees
D (5,000)margin costs

Which scenario is correct:
Worst Case:
Schedule D: A+B+C+D= (9000) thus (6000) carryover or is it

Most Likely Case:
Schedule D: A+B+C=(4000) and (1000) carryover while the (5000) goes on the Schedule A or is it

Best Case:
Schedule D: A+B=(3000) and (6000) to Schedule A

I guess what I'm really asking is if there's a place to stick the transaction costs from an itemization point of view that's separate from the schedule D? Thanks in advance.

Does that $3000-per-year limit apply only to using the $6000 loss against ordinary incoome, or also to applying it to gains?
