Deferring Captial Loss

[vdo]

California

I incurred capital loss (stocks) in exceed of the 3000 dollar limit. My annual income is lower that my of loss (I didnt work the whole year).

Therefore, my question is can I deferr the lost to the following year when I have income to take advantage of the deduction? Thanks

You can, but you really need to file a tax return to establish the loss, and the loss carryforward.
