In 2006, Bill had a $14,000 net ST capital loss and deducted 3,000 as a capital loss deduction. In 2007, Bill has a $18,000 5%/15% LTCG and no other CG or loss transactions.
What is the net result of these gains and losses for 2007?
What is the appropriate tax treatment (capital gain/loss treatment or treatment as ordinary income)?
