I see how it works. I think that answers just about all of my questions except one.Quote from rimshaker:
A gain is a gain. There are no wash sale rules for gains, only for losses. (As a side note, every time I point this out, I get irritated as hell. Uncle sam is always sharing with you for the gains, but you are totally alone when it comes to losses. GRRRRRR)
You would then carry over the first loss amount to your COST BASIS of the second transaction. Like a rollover effect, so your cost basis is now reduced. It can get pretty hairy trying to keep track of dollar amounts when you got multiple carryovers.
Should I make a copy of my nonreportable 1099 to send to the IRS since they do not have that information or do they have a way of getting it?
