    The answer to the following question is $4000.

    Explanation:

    Dowdy which is a C corporation, has a total of $14,000 in capital gain, in which $8000 comes from sale of tract land and rest of $6000 comes from sale of stock. And the company also has a capital loss of $18,000. So here the company is having a long term capital loss of $4000 ($18,000 - $14,000), and this C corporation can deduct this long term capital loss from their taxable income (the year in which loss was incurred). If in a situation, loss is not deducted from this year, then it can be carried 3 years or 2 years or even 1 years back and if there is capital gain, it can be deducted from it.
