short term cap gains

[Deleted]

hello..new here so hope i am doing things right..i have a few income tax questions and will start with one for today..don't want to overwhelm myself..lol!  Last year i had a 9K capital loss which was all short term.  For business reasons i did not need to use any of the loss so all I did was report it on schedule D and attach correct forms..needless to say i am trying to do my own taxes these days.  So..how do i carry over this loss to this year's taxes and is a short term loss worth the same as a long term captial loss..these were traded stocks..and how long can i carry losses..short or long?  thanks so much in advance..

You note the 6k carryover on the appropriate line of schedule d in the short term area.  I do not have the line number handy, but it is on the top half with the short term data.

thank you!  I will do that..as hopefully I will need to take the loss sometime!
