You have to close your account. Loss is not carryover. Even in this situation, so-called tax free gains are not real.

You can take a loss on IRA plans, but only if you cash out all IRAs of the same type. That means: cashing out all your traditional IRAs, or cashing out all your Roth IRAs. For traditional IRAs this loss provision works only if you have basis from nondeductible contributions. Basis means there were nondeductible amounts contributed to a traditional IRA. If there's no basis, then there will not be a loss that you can deduct on your tax return. However, you cannot cash out only your nondeductible IRAs. All traditional IRA funds must be liquidated to obtain the loss deduction. For additional information, see Publication 590, chapter 1 and drill down to the section on "Recognizing Losses on Traditional IRA Investments." The loss provision works better with Roth IRAs since there's basis for your original contributions. Any loss would be a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% of AGI threshold limit. If value of the Roth IRA has dropped below your total contributions, then the entire value of the account can be cashed out and you can take a deduction for the loss, and the distribution will not be subject to the early distribution penalty. This is provided for in the Treasury Regulations section 1.408A-6 especially Q&A numbers 4 and 5. If the Roth IRA has lost value, but it's value is not below the total amount of contributions, then there won't be a loss for tax reporting purposes. In this case, it would be better to maintain the tax-deferral on the gains you already have. For more details see Publication 590, chapter 2, and drill down to the section on "Recognizing Losses on Investments."
如果你赔了3k,里面还有1万五,我觉得完全不值得,你这15k将来所有tax free gain 的opportunity都失去了啊,多不合算,你还很年轻吧,至少有几十年来赚这个tax free的gain。

"Any loss would be a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% of AGI threshold limit. " 这句话的意思是,我挣100K的话,LIMIT是2K。 是指各种MISC加在一起,最多DEDUCT 2K,还是指,超过2K的能DEDUCT? 比如我亏了3K,又没有其他MISC。那么是不是1K可以DEDUCT?还是最多DEDUCT 2K?

安啦。 不要折腾这些问题了。想想为啥会损失3千才是最重要的。

这样啊,别折腾了, 如果你工资很高,那你的2%AGI也高,那么能够deduct的也就更少了。 如果你工资还不高,那么你的marginal tax rate也不高,目前节省的税钱应该比不上 你剩下15k的gaining power. at the end of the day it is a trade off between the tax you can save today, versus the tax you can save on the potential earning of the 15k for the next 30, 40 years.
