Decided to payoff my mortgage.
I got H1B Visa and 83000 USD dollar petition amount as annual package.I am confused as this amount will be enough to survive there with wife and 7 year old daughter.My wife is working here and together we are earning 50LPA annual.We are settled here by owning house too.Confusion is my wife will not be able to work there on H4 Visa so the kind of life we are living here will not be possible there.Thoughts?Suggestions?Pros and Cons?

You can reduce your regular income by up to $3k of loss. So you’d be taxed on $497k instead. Excess loss over $3k can be carried forward to future years.

Do any of your funds have cap gain distributions? Even if you didn’t sell, you can still have capital gains.
Oh, that’s a good point P1. I’ll check
I didn’t sell anything else during the year so no capital gains. However we fall into a very high income tax bracket this year - HHI 500k. Can I use this 3k loss to offset my income tax? Are there any considerations for this? Eg. I will not buy the same stock again in 30 days
You can not repurchase the assets for 30 days or it’s a whitewash sale and you can’t take the loss. Technically you can’t purchase like assets (ie two ETFs that track same index are technically a whitewash), but I’ve never had an issue here.
The limit for individuals is 1.5k. The 3K is only if you’re married and filing jointly.
You can carry additional forward for an unlimited amount of time. I rebalanced in height of Covid last year and will have a carry forward for 10 years.

There are no income limits on the $3k cap loss deduction.
Thank you P1 and ASM1
