Not sure if this answers your question but you can find more information. If you sell a stock for a loss and buy it back within 30 days, the loss cannot be claimed for tax purses. The disallowed loss is added to the cost of the repurchased stock, and it's claimed when the stock is finally sold in a non-wash-sale way.
It's often best to simply avoid the rules entirely, though, by always waiting 31 days before jumping back into any stock.
