IRC §1212(b): capital losses carry forward only for non-corporate taxpayers; no carryback
“In the case of a taxpayer other than a corporation, if there is a net capital loss for any taxable year: (1) the excess of the net short-term capital loss over the net long-term capital gain for such year shall be a short-term capital loss in the succeeding taxable year, and (2) the excess of the net long-term capital loss over the net short-term capital gain for such year shall be a long-term capital loss in the succeeding taxable year.”
Note: IRC §1212(b) limits non-corporate taxpayers to carrying losses forward only ('succeeding taxable year'). IRC §1212(a), which allows a 3-year carryback, applies only to corporations. For conformity states, the federal carryforward amount flows to the state return unchanged.

IN exempts IN-issued bonds; out-of-state muni bonds acquired after Dec. 31, 2011 are taxable
“Interest earned from a direct obligation of a state or political subdivision other than Indiana is taxable by Indiana if the obligation is acquired after Dec. 31, 2011. If you had interest from a bond issued by or in the name of certain Indiana government subdivisions or entities, deduct any interest or other income included in federal gross income.”

U.S. Treasury interest exempt from Indiana income tax: 31 U.S.C. §3124(a) prohibits state taxation of U.S. government obligations
“Stocks and obligations of the United States Government are exempt from taxation by a State or political subdivision of a State. The exemption applies to each form of taxation that would require the obligation, the interest on the obligation, or both, to be considered in computing a tax.”
Note: 31 U.S.C. §3124(a) preempts state income taxation of U.S. government obligations. Covers T-bills, T-notes, T-bonds, TIPS, and I-bonds. Most states allow a deduction or subtraction by statute cross-referencing this federal preemption.

FHLB and FFCB bond interest exempt from Indiana income tax: federal enabling statutes mandate state tax exemption
“Any security issued under this chapter by a Federal home loan bank, including the stock thereof, shall be exempt from taxation, except taxes upon real estate, by any State, county, municipality, or local taxing authority.”
Note: 12 U.S.C. §1433 (FHLB) and 12 U.S.C. §2023 (FFCB/Farm Credit Act) both mandate state tax exemption for securities issued under their chapters. Contrasts with FNMA (12 U.S.C. §§1719(e), 1723a(c)) and FHLMC (12 U.S.C. §1455(a)) which have no bondholder exemption statute and whose interest is taxable by income-tax states.
Verify Official Document (uscode.house.gov)→Farm Credit Act: notes, bonds, debentures, and other obligations of Farm Credit Banks are instrumentalities of the United States exempt from all State, municipal, and local taxation
“The mortgages held by the Farm Credit Banks and the notes, bonds, debentures, and other obligations issued by the banks shall be considered and held to be instrumentalities of the United States and, as such, they and the income therefrom shall be exempt from all Federal, State, municipal, and local taxation, other than Federal income tax liability of the holder thereof under the Public Debt Act of 1941 (31 U.S.C. 3124).”
Note: 12 U.S.C. §2023 explicitly covers 'the income therefrom' (i.e., interest payments to bondholders), exempting it from all State and local taxation. The only carve-out is federal income tax on the holder. Parallel to 12 U.S.C. §1433 (FHLB Act), which exempts FHLB securities from state taxation. Together §1433 and §2023 mandate state and local tax exemption for both FHLB and FFCB bond interest.

Indiana recomputes a migrating resident's capital-loss carryforward on an in-state basis (structural inference)
“Verbatim text not yet extracted; see note.”
Note: Structural inference: IC 6-3-2-1(a) imposes the tax on the adjusted gross income of every resident and on that part of the adjusted gross income derived from sources within Indiana of every nonresident, so nonresident/part-year income is recomputed on an in-state-source basis and an imported pre-residency federal section 1212 carryforward is recalculated rather than imported in full. Verbatim statutory text could not be extracted on 2026-07-03: iga.in.gov is a JavaScript single-page app that renders no statute text to curl/WebFetch, and its api.iga.in.gov backend is gated behind an x-api-key (HTTP 403).
