Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When profits vanish into thin air, losses pile up everywhere
Non-capital wounds need twenty years to heal completely
Seven forward, three years back, that's the timeline on this track
Business income takes the hit, losses offset bit by bit

[Chorus]
Twenty-twenty-seven-three, loss carryover recipe
Non-capital losses dance through time's corridor
Capital gains need capital friends, that's where the matching ends
Carryforward indefinitely, but backwards just three years, you see

[Verse 2]
Capital losses hunt for gains, searching through the tax domains
Investment income's their target, nothing else will make the market
ABILs play a different game, allowable business loss by name
Ordinary income's their prey, when capital gains stay away

[Chorus]
Twenty-twenty-seven-three, loss carryover recipe
Non-capital losses dance through time's corridor
Capital gains need capital friends, that's where the matching ends
Carryforward indefinitely, but backwards just three years, you see

[Bridge]
Acquisition of control shifts the ground
Streaming rules keep losses bound
Same business test or similar property
Unlock the vault of loss recovery

[Verse 3]
Farm losses flow to farming gains, restricted to their own domains
Limited partnership holes, passive losses pay their tolls
Net capital loss elections, strategic tax law connections
Half the loss becomes the shield, allowable amounts revealed

[Chorus]
Twenty-twenty-seven-three, loss carryover recipe
Non-capital losses dance through time's corridor
Capital gains need capital friends, that's where the matching ends
Carryforward indefinitely, but backwards just three years, you see

[Outro]
When the corporate ledger bleeds red ink
Loss carryovers help you think
Past and future income streams
Salvage value from shattered dreams
