I own stock in my personal brokerage. It has decreased in value and I now have a paper loss. If I sell, I understand that the capital loss will go against any gains. I also have a single member LLC with a separate tax id number. My question is this: Can I transfer/sell my stock from my personal account to the business account and create a taxable event? What I would like to do is take the capital loss on my personal account while still owning the stock in my business account.

If you don?t have capital gains to offset the capital loss, then, you can use a capital loss as an offset to ordinary income, up to $3k per year, $1.5k for single /MFS filer. (If you have more than $3k, it will be carried forward to future tax years.
