Wash Sale Checker

Add your trades below. The tool checks for wash sales: a loss sale followed by a buy of the same security within 30 days before or after.

The wash sale rule (IRS Section 1091) disallows a loss if you buy the same or substantially identical security within 30 calendar days before or after the sale. The 61-day window includes the sale date itself. Calendar days, not trading days.
