Stocks and the “Wash Sale” Rule
1 point by jzer0cool on Feb 9, 2021 | hide | past | favorite
Anyone know how a 'wash sale' rule works? I understand from definition point of view if you take a loss, then rebuy equivalent stocks within 30 days, it is considered a wash sale and cost basis is applied.

My question is if you sell those repurchased shares immediately again can you deduct those as capital loss for same year. Or does it still have to roll over to the next year?
