What if you buy an airline sell it at a loss and buy a different airline company is there a wash sale because they're both Airlines because they're technically both different companies with doing their own different things
This is ridiculously complicated and demonstrates the absurdity of a tax on income.
The simple view is “if you do small buys and sells then you reset your long term capital gains timer”.
What if I bought xyz for 10, sold it for 5
Then bought xyz for 5 and sold it for 2.50?
Other than being a terrible trader, what are my options? Thanks.😢

in this way, you would no longer have the opportunity to deduct $7.50 from your taxable year-end earnings.
Its good to know these rules. Thanks
Does the 30 day rule apply to 30 calendar days or 30 trading days?
The rule uses Calendar days, not trading days. Remember, we are not tax advisors, so please consult your tax advisor for your specific circumstances. ^BW
why are disallowed losses added to cost basis? it should reduce cost basis, creating a larger gain

Wash sale is not a penalty. It still gives you tax write-off but only at a later time when you completely get rid of the stock
What if I buy and sell a stock several times over the year and just before the year ends I close out everything, does it all shake out?

It seems to me that Schwab calculated wash sale difference incorrectly after stock split. For example NVDA 10:1 split
Is there a system in place to show that an action would cause a wash sale?
At this time there is not a system that would reflect if an action would create a wash sale.

so if you wait til 30 days you don't have to worry about this?

Wash rules apply to the same ticker symbol, not industries.
So basically as a daytader if you have 50k in profits 20k in losses for the year trading the same couple stocks you will owe taxes on the 50k?
@@kadebrown53Yes, as unfair as that is
@@charlesg7926 the loss is not lost forever, as long as you didn't carry that couple stocks over to next year, you can deduct the 20k losses.
@@charlesg7926 Since they increase the cost basis by the loss amount, it's not really unfair. It just makes you pay more taxes now and less later.
I should have watched this earlier.
Oof
