Stock Options

For how many years can you carry over a net stock/options loss to offset any future gains in future years?

James007 asked:


For example if I lost $10,000 in stocks/options trading in 2006, for how long can I use that loss to deduct it from future tax years. Is there a limitations in the number of years to deduct that loss? If I finally make a capital gains (stock/options) of $10,000 in 2015, can I then deduct that loss from 2006.

I have been led to believe that the writer is the only one who would ever have to surrender shares of a stock in options trading, that the buyer only loses his investment of premium in the call or put at the most. Is this true?
