New to stocks. I had two stocks I sold before August 31st. Despite one being a capital gain, the other was a bigger loss for a net loss that quarter. Did I owe taxes?

    Your net loss is deductible on Schedule D.

    It is to your advantage to report the two transactions.

    Reporting is required whether or not it is to your advantage.

    for 2024 if withholding and timely estimated tax payments are 1) equal to 90% of your 2024 tax; or 2) 100% of your 2023 tax; or 3) you owe less than $1,000 after subtracting federal withholding, there will be no underpayment of estimated tax penalties s regardless of what your income was for any period.
