Answer:1)
The net capital loss of $90,000 is not deductible in 2013 but must be carried back to the three preceding years, applying it to 2010, 2011, and 2012, in that order. Such net capital loss is carried back or forward as a short-term capital loss.

(2) does not apply however if after deducting the amount determined in (1) the corporation reports a loss.
