And if you pay state taxes, then you may be able to save another 4 to 6 percent or more on top of these rates. A wash sale occurs when you take a loss on an investment and then repurchase the investment within 30 days. If you try to claim a wash sale as a deduction, the IRS will reject your deduction. When you sell the repurchased stock later, even years later, you can claim the loss. The key element of the wash sale is to repurchase the stock within that window.
This method works because these two different funds track the same index, so they have basically the same holdings, yet they are technically different funds.

However, if you are not able to set off your entire capital loss in the same year, both short and long term loss can be carried forward for 8 assessment years. Therefore, if your only other income is from salary you can carry the loss forward to future years and set it off as and when capital gains arise.
I am an year-old pensioner. Am I supposed to pay tax on fixed monthly medical allowance and the refund of tax received? Amit Maheshwari, Partner, Ashok Maheshwary and Associates, responds: Taxpayers aged 80 or more are not required to pay any tax up to an income of Rs 5 lakh.

Claim within four years from the end of the tax year the business ceased trading Terminal loss relief claims can be very complex as you may need to take into account overlap relief. How are tax credits and universal credit affected by losses in my business? Tax credits In a number of situations, the way you get tax relief for losses you make in your business will be very different from the tax credit rules for using the same losses.
Carry back of losses For real tax, you may want to carry back your losses so that you can get a tax repayment in respect of the previous tax year.
Carry forward of trading losses For both real tax and tax credits, losses, which are not set off in any other way are carried forward and set against future profits of the same trade. This is primarily for two reasons: Where the person running the business is part of a couple, losses for tax credits must first be set off against other income of both members of the couple for the current tax year, while for real tax only the other income of the partner carrying on the business can be used see below under joint claims ; and the fact that for real tax, any surplus loss not set off against other income in the current tax year can be carried back against income of the previous year, while for tax credits — as we explained above — there is no carry back of trading losses.
Joint claims As mentioned above it is important to bear in mind that where there is a joint claim for tax credits, the order of set off of trading losses is firstly against current year income of the couple and then by way of carry forward against future profits of the same trade. Universal credit Universal credit uses monthly income and relief for losses is treated quite differently.
