You can use an unlimited amount of losses to offset your gains, but can only pass a max of $3000 dollars to offset your "earned" income. In other words if you have $10,000 in losses and $5000 in realized gains and a regular job that pays $40K, you effecively can pay taxes on $37K.

Thats my understaning anyway...talk to an account or verify the info w/someone else...I am not an accountant.

Up to $3000 above and beyond your gains... then must carry over excess to next year
