Sonya, who is single, owns 20,000 shares of Malthouse Corporation stock. She acquired the stock in 2016 for $75,000. The stock is qualifying small-business stock. On August 12, 2019, Sonya's father tells her of a rumor that Malthouse will file for bankruptcy within the next week. The next day, Sonya sells all her shares of Malthouse for $20,000.
Loss on sale of Malthouse Corporation stock = $20,000-$75,000 = $55,000
Since Malthouse Corporation stock is a QSBS, Sonya can claim $50,000 loss as ordinary loss.
And Maximum Capital Loss Deduction is $3,000.
So. sonya is eligible to take deduction of loss of $53,000 and remaining 2,000 of the loss is carried forward for subsequent years.
