Capital loss is the difference between a lower selling price and a higher purchase price, resulting in a financial loss for the seller.[1][2] The IRS states that "If your capital losses exceed your capital gains, the excess can be deducted on your tax return".[3] Limits on such deductions apply.
Special wash sale rules apply if the same or substantially similar security is bought, acquired, or optioned within 30 days before or after the sale.
