Solution:

Short-term capital loss of $13,000

Taxable income (not including the loss) of $123,000

He has several inventories, which can be marketed for a long-term profit.

Since Byron can only deduct $3,000 for the capital loss he must sell stock at a capital gain of $10,000 to offset the amount over the $3,000 deduction maximum.
