CONeal Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hoping someone could provide an answer to why 900 shares sold on 8/29 is considered as a wash sale? Stopped purchasing on 7/28 and sold on 8/29. Purchased 637 on 9/30 but my understanding is that since there was a stop of 30+ days from the time I went from buying to selling and then another 30+ days from buying again its not a wash sale. Is this right?

Uccmal Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Your reasoning is sound. 30 days transaction free both directions and you can claim the tax loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
