Howard, Thanks for the input. Wasn't it a 4k loss though.
I have no idea.

Next time PAY ATTENTION WHEN BUYING OR SELLING.

The net loss can't be deducted currently due to the wash sale rules. It is calculated by deducting the cost of the securities sold from the proceeds, so the event is no taxable imn any manner at this time.

You can deduct gambling losses up to the amount of your winnings, provided that you itemize deductions. many parts of the tax laws are unfair and the enforcement of the laws is even less fair.

Regards,

Gary
