My accountant said as long as it's sold by the end of the year. I never did like/understand that 3 day bullshit.
If I sell something on the 29th, and it's recorded in my account, it's still this year as far as I'm concerned.
I believe I've sold in the final minutes of previous years and never got any flack over it.
And I will inquire with my full service broker for a third opinion/confirmation. That'll really suck if it's too late. I'll have to hang on to my garbage stocks AND pay Uncle Sam 10's of thousands of dollars.
I would like confirmation on this as well. is it thed 26th or on or before 31st. By all means amtd is incorrect with the 22nd and have no idea how they came up with that info.
I could be wrong, but I thought Ameritrade was saying that the last day you can call them to write off non-marketable securites, was on the 22nd. I'm about 99% sure that's what they were saying!
Yes, I just signed on and here's a copy/paste of what they said: Non-Marketable Securities Please note the last day to request the removal of a non-marketable security from your account before year end will be Friday, December 22 at 4 p.m. ET. Any requests submitted after that will be processed on a best-efforts basis.
