Default Distribute capital loss over few years

I made a wrong real estate investment and loss close 100k. I don't want
deduct all the in one year. Can I distribute my capital loss over few
years.

I'm an independent consultant and my income about is $120k. Now, you
see why I don't to deduct all my loss this year. I prefer to deduct
$40-$50k this year only and the rest in few years. Is this possible? Or do
you have any recommend for me on this issue for income tax purpose?

Thanks

If it's truly a capital loss, you can only offset the capital loss against other capital gains, and up to $3,000 against your ordinary income. The remaining capital loss will be carried forward indefinitely until it can be used up.
