How much can you report in losses on your taxes?
The IRS limits your net loss to $3,000 (for individuals and married filing jointly) or $1,500 (for married filing separately). Any unused capital losses are rolled over to future years. If you exceed the $3,000 threshold for a given year, don’t worry.
Do you have to itemize to deduct capital losses?
When you file your taxes, you have the option to claim either the standard deduction or the sum of your itemized deductions, but not both. However, capital losses aren’t included as part of the list of itemized deductions, so your capital losses for the year won’t affect whether you itemize or not.
Can they take your taxes for a Judgement?

But when it comes to your tax refund, the IRS won’t allow a private creditor to intercept or garnish it.
