You can buy back within thirty one days. You just have to defer the loss until the next time you sell the stock. e.g. If you have a $1,000 loss, then buy the stock back and make $2,000 your transaction is $2,000 gain minus the $1,000 loss carried forward = $1,000 reportable gain. (You record the original loss as a sale at same price as purchase showing net of $0, then add the $1,000 loss to your cost basis on the next purchase of same stock within 31 days.) JAZZ
