Compute the amount of Carrot’s capital loss carryover to 2018.

$45,000

Explanation:

For computation of Carrot’s capital loss carryover to 2018 first we need to figure out some steps which is shown below:-

Step 1

Net Capital Loss = Net Short Term Capital Gain -2017 - Net Long Term Capital Loss -2017

= $65,000 - $250,000

= -$185,000

Here, Net Capital Loss amount $185,000 which is not deductible in year 2017, but can be carried back to the three preceding years i.e. 2014, 2015 and 2016

Step 2

Net Capital Loss is set off in preceding years = Net Short Term Capital Gain - 2014 + Net Short Term Capital Gain  2015 + Net Short Term Capital Gain - 2016

= $60,000 + $45,000 + $35,000

= $140,000

and finally

Amount of loss Carryover to 2018 = Net Capital Loss - Net Capital Loss is set off in preceding years

= $185,000 - $140,000

= $45,000
