I believe I understand wash sales, but could use a confirmation related to the quick example below:
I buy 1k shares of XYZ stock on Feb 1 2024 for $10. I buy 1k more XYZshares on Feb 15th for $9.
I sell my 2k total shares of XYZ shares for an unfortunate loss on Feb 22 when XYZ is trading for $5 per share.
If I buy back XYZ stock in 31 days from Feb 22, can I avoid the wash sales related to the previous buy/sells, and still claim the losses?
Thanks!!!
