Capital Losses and partial holdings sale If a person holds a losing position of 300 shares, can that person sell just enough shares, 72 shares, to max out the $3000.00 capital loss and still hold on to the other 228 shares? All shares were bought at the same time in 2015 (all are long term).
I understand not being able to buy the same stock back because of the wash rule but can not seem to get a definitive answer on this.
Thank you. |
