Rande, You don't have to ftp those .pdf files. Here's a link to the online version of pub 550: irs.gov The section with the Wash Sale rules is at: irs.gov It's easiest to use the "Find (on this page)" and search for Wash. 'Bout the 6th hit gets you to the real meat. Here's the index for the online pubs: irs.gov And the "Digital Daily" home page: irs.gov I'm am a little unsure about the fund bit though. All that wash sale stuff certainly applies to us lowly schedule D users. I thought there was an out for those that could claim "trader" status (IRS's definition, not mine), who can claim trade or business expenses instead of itemized deductions, & use schedule C instead of schedule D. I also thought that funds would have enough legal horsepower to structure themselves to be equally exempt from the wash sale rules. BWDIK..."Consult your tax advisor." FWIW...Alski
