Hi Colin, One question regarding washsale. I exercised 1000 shares of XYZ stock options which I obtained from my company. The exercise price was around 76. I have paid about 30 dollars tax per share. Now the stock has declined to 66. I plan to sell them for a 10 point loss. But plan to buy back the shares immediately since they are my long-term investment. What can I do to avoid a washsale? Can I buy same lots of shares through my husband's account once I sell the 1000 shares of XYZ in my account? Thanks in advance. Iris
