What is the law for gains and losses in stock trading? Can I only claim $3000/year for losses but have to report all winnings? Do we offset the winnings and losses at the end of the year? For example, if my total gains in various stocks is $20,000, but I lost $15,000 on one stock in the same year, does this just get deducted and result in just $5,000 gain? Or does this mean I can only deduct $3000 for that year? Can you clarify on this law?
