Wash Sale

A sale of stock at a loss coupled with the repurchase of the same stock within 30 days before or after the sale. You cannot claim a capital loss stemming from a wash sale. The disallowed loss and holding period from the old stock are added to the new stock's basis and holding period. For details, see a related FAQ.
