Mr. Dunn, who has a 32 percent marginal rate on ordinary income and a 15 percent marginal rate on adjusted net capital gain, recognized a $15,000 capital loss in 2019. Compute the tax savings from this loss assuming that: Use Individual tax rate schedules.
Capital loss are to be set off against capital gain. There is no capital gain in current year 2019 and he doesn't expect to recognise capital gain from year 2020-2023. There is a provision which allows a set off of upto $3,000 per year for set off of capital losses in the years in which there are no capital gains. So a deduction of $3,000 will be availed against ordinary income for years 2019 through 2023
Tax savings per year = $3,000 x 32% = $960
Present value of tax savings = $960 + $960 x present value annuity factor for 4 years at 5%
= $960 + $960 x 3.54595
= $4,364
