Something to fix?

[edit]

I saw this statement: "(instead of being carried forward to the following year)". It seems to imply that losses cannot be carried forward? This Forbes article says it can: https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2019/05/30/trading-futures-other-section-1256-contracts-has-tax-advantages/#1a8b60681f80  Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.39.129.120 (talk) 04:55, 20 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

It does not imply that. It's merely saying that 1256 Contracts have give the investor an option to carry losses backward. If they carry them back, they cannot then also carry them forward (this part should be obvious, but I think that's all the article is saying in the parenthetical statement that you quoted). — voidxor 17:53, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Capitalization

[edit]

The article is all over the map when it comes to whether the word "section" should be capitalized in "section 1256 contract". The capitalization of "contract" is equally all over the map. Does anybody have any strong opinion (or better yet, an MOS reference) to which each should be, so that we can make them consistent? — voidxor 17:55, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
