Good morning! I have a question regarding the wash-sale rule and was directed to this site to get an answer. Here is my question:
If I sold a stock on Sept. 17th and want to write that off as a loss, can I buy the same stock back today on Oct. 17th - is it within the 30 days, or just 30 days after the sell? Do I count the day I sold it -in other words, if I do, then Sept. 17 would be day 1 and today would be day 31. TIA
