A "call" is a contract. A stock is an EQUITY POSITION. I do not believe a call is substantially identical to common stock, therefore the wash-sales rule is NOT applicable in a case with one leg being an option and the other being the underlying stock. . UNLESS, perhaps you were talking DEEP-DEEP In-The-Money calls, that had no premium, and in effect "were identical to the underlying stock". . Colin
