Final answer:

David's capital loss carryforward is $1,000. He can carry forward this loss to offset future capital gains.

Step-by-step explanation:

David's capital loss carryforward is $1,000 ($107,000 - $106,000). This means that he can carry forward the remaining $1,000 loss to future tax years to offset any capital gains he may have in those years.
