Utilising taxes losses effectively

Hi, I am looking for assistance with utilising a significant (to me anyway) amour of losses from previous years taxes and am very much struggling to find ways of managing this without having to write down to zero (ie using my losses on tax free income). I have over $60k in losses and unfortunately didn’t earn as much as I wanted last year to get as high an income as possible for these losses. I would greatly appreciate knowing my options. I am also very keen on finding an accountant/planner that can assist with an effective tax and overall wealth strategy moving forward in better income years so would really appreciate advice and contacts

Credits

Order of adoption and energy efficiency credits

My taxes this year will be covered with carry-forward on the adoption tax credit. (This is the first of the 5 years of carry-forward.) I am looking at home energy efficiency upgrades that come with tax credits due to the inflation reduction act. Will the energy efficiency credits be applied before the adoption tax credit, this allowing me to continue carrying forward that credit? Or will the adoption credit be applied first, meaning the energy efficiency credits would be useless?

401(k) loan default question

My spouse took out a 401(k) loan from their employer in 2022 to help us afford a new primary residence. They are switching jobs at the end of the month and we won't be able to repay the unpaid balance by the tax filing deadline in April 2024, and therefore it will go into default. I understand that this will be treated as taxable income, but which tax year will it happen in? Will it be considered income for 2022 when we originated the loan, and we have to file an amended tax return? Will it be considered income for 2023 since that's when they switched jobs? Or in 2024 because we have until tax day in April 2024 to repay the unpaid balance?
