Is there a time limit by which you have to use up the tax loss carry forward by? You can apply the tax loss carryforward whenever you want to provided you have the capital gains of the same type, short or long term, to apply it to?

1. There is no time limit.
2. Yes, you can apply the loss carryforward whenever you want to provided you have the qualified cap. gain in the following years. You can exhaust both your future Long-term cap gain(20% top) and future short-term cap gain if your carry-forward a short-term cap loss that's large enough.

Sorry to barge in.. but the carry forward loss counts against any future capital gain.

40,000 carry forward loss....

next year make 20,000.. shows (3000) loss on tax return leaving 17000 carry forward.

Wayne,
With due deference to Jan's reply, there is a time limit - your death. If your estate can't use all the cap losses you've been carrying forward in the year of your death they are gone forever. But, of course, you wouldn't care about it then - only your beneficiaries would. The lesson to be learned is to get the losses out of your system when you are young.

Your friend should be filing amended returns for those previous years.
