Wash sale
Wash Sale is a sale of a security (stock, bonds, options) at a loss and repurchase of the same or substantially identical stock 30 days before or after the sale, for which the capital loss is disallowed for tax deduction. Since the taxpayer is in the same economic position before and after the sale, the loss is not recognized for tax purposes.
