Hi Herm, Vincent or any other expert,

I have a tax related question for you.
What exactly is wash sale and hoe it works ?
I know that it talks about the fact that if you have a loss in a security and you buy it back within 30 days then you can deduct your loss.

I also hear that it doesn't apply if the trades are in the same tax year.

Let see for example if i bought 5000 stocks on March 15.
then I sell some of it (say 3000) at loss on April 1st and then
later on I buy them back at lower price on April 17.
Will the wash rule apply to that loss ?

I will really appreciate your expert advice on that.
Thanks in advance.

ps: your right Vincent, even some of the tax preparers are not aware of these rule. Thanks for telling me about this thread.
