Net capital gain or loss; computation; deductions

# (a)

The net capital gain or loss of a taxpayer shall be computed by totaling the gains from sales or other dispositions during the taxable year of capital assets having an actual situs within the source state and subtracting therefrom the losses from sales or other dispositions of capital assets having an actual situs in the source state.

# (b)

# (1)

In any taxable year in which a taxpayer has a net capital loss such loss shall be allowed as a deduction from gross income only to the extent of $1,000.00 or the taxpayer's net income whichever is lower; provided, however, that with respect to taxable years beginning after 1978 a loss shall be allowed as a deduction from gross income only to the extent of $3,000.00 or the taxpayer's net income, whichever is lower.

# (2)

Subject to the limitation of paragraph (1) hereof, if for any taxable year the taxpayer has a net capital loss, the amount thereof shall be treated as a capital loss and deductible from gross income in each of the succeeding taxable years to the extent that such amount exceeds the total of any net capital gains of any taxable years intervening between the taxable year in which the net capital loss arose and such succeeding taxable year. For purposes of this section, a net capital gain shall be computed without regard to such net capital loss or to any net capital losses arising in any such intervening taxable years.

# (c)

In any taxable year in which net capital gain exceeds the net capital loss, 40% of the amount of excess shall be a deduction from gross income; provided, however, that in any taxable year commencing on and after January 1, 1982 in which net capital gain exceeds the net capital loss, 60% of the amount of such excess shall be a deduction from gross income.
