RE: "So... Does tax loss selling end 3 days before the year ends? When is the last day you can sell your losers and book a tax loss for 1998? I was once told it is the settlement date that matters so the last tax loss selling day day is Dec. 28th or 29th... True?" I don't know the answer to that one, but I bet Pete from Stamford, CT or Colin Cody does. Message 6908766 Best wishes, I2

Kirk-Tax Selling So... Does tax loss selling end 3 days before the year ends? When is the last day you can sell your losers and book a tax loss for 1998? The last date you can sell and book a tax loss for 1998 is December 31st. My understanding is your sell order has to be in before the end of the year and the settlement date three days later does not matter. Please keep in mind I am just a farmer who has a moose for a best friend and not a tax professional.
