Thomas and Courtney are married, and they will file a joint return. In $2023,$ they sold an undeveloped plot of land. They had purchased the land in $2018$ as an investment. Unfortunately, the value of the land decreased, and they incurred a $$5,000$ loss at the time of sale. They had no other capital gains or losses during the year, and they had no prior$-$year carryover losses. How much of the loss from the sale of the land may the couple use to offset their $2023$ ordinary income?
