I would expect any tax revisions to preserve a distinction between long and short term capital gain/loss treatment with differential rates being applied. With that caveat, your question as to what happens when an income category is negative is a good one. At a minimum, that would result in a zero tax liability for that category of income. I’ve not thought through whether or not there should be a carry over provision.
