I have Forex losses this year greater than the $3,000 maximum I can writeoff. If I were to make back some of the gains the next year, would I have to pay taxes on that even though I was still in the red?
For instance:
Year 1: Lose $20k - Write off $3k
Year 2: Gain $10k - Write off gains??
Thanks!

When you have a loss on schedule D and it carries forward to the following year, it reinvents itself. So, yes, you carry $17K forward and the full $10K gain can be totally absorbed, leaving you with another $3 loss and $4k to carry forward.

You can only carry over 3k a year unless the rules changes. So the 20 k and loses will only absorb 3k of gains next year.
