Question

If I own a stock that I bought in 2021 and sell it at a loss of $216 in 2023. Can I use that capital loss to offset how much I own in income tax for the tax year 2022?

I bought this stock in 2021 (nio) I am now down $216. I would like to sell this stock at a loss to claim my capital loss and lower how much I owe in federal tax. Is it too late to do this considering I would be selling the stock in 2023 but want to claim the loss for the tax year 2022? Thank you.

No, it's too late. You won't be able to claim, the 2023 loss on the sale of stock, on your 2022 income tax return. The IRS does not allow that.

  • You're a cash basis taxpayer. You report income and deductions in the year that they are actually paid or received
