Introduction
The purpose of this posting is to further demonstrate the effect of the wash rules on securities purchased 30 days before/after the sale of the same (or substantially similar) security for a loss. As there is a requirement that there be a high frequency of trading for someone to be considered a trader under the IRS standards, I'll be breaking this series into 12 parts (1 for each month).
Problem
Taxpayer A actively trades Bitcoin in order to take advantage in short term swings in the market. The diagram below shows March trading activity along with the tax consequences of being treated as a trader vs. an investor.
Solution
Note that Taxpayer A will carryover $5,361 of loss disallowed by the wash-sale rules into April (if Taxpayer A is classified as a investor).
