That is why I said in practice. You just had a $50k loss from your startup option tax bill? It's going to take 17 years before you can deduct all of that loss

$150k loss? 50 years!!
In other countries, capital loss can be deducted from your normal income immediately.

It's going to take 17 years before you can deduct all of that loss Unless your next startup options (or Google/Big Co RSUS) have a 50k gain the next year(s). Then it only takes year(s). Or if you have diversified and have market investments that likewise increase 50k and then you sell them.
