The netting process allows taxpayers to offset their capital gains with any capital losses, including both net short-term capital losses and long-term capital loss carryovers. This process can help maximize tax benefits by reducing taxable income, thus lowering the overall tax liability. Short-term losses are first used to offset short-term gains, and long-term losses offset long-term gains. Any remaining losses can then be used to offset other types of income, within certain limits, further maximizing tax benefits.
