Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You’re “free” to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!
Oh funny, you deleted your comment instead of admitting you were moving the goalpost!
If you make a 30k loss you can get a 3k deduction every year for 10 years.
Corporations have limits to their annual deduction amount as well, it’s higher than individuals because duh (if you make enough a year that you compare yourself to corporations and feel that you should be entitled to over 250k in tax deductions a year then I don’t know how you don’t know how that works).
