Course overview
Lesson Overview
8.16 – Avoiding Wash Sale Violations: Wash sale rules prevent taxpayers from claiming a loss if they repurchase the same or substantially similar asset within a restricted period, usually thirty days. While traditional securities clearly fall under this rule, its application to crypto is evolving. Some jurisdictions already extend wash sale principles to digital assets to discourage artificial loss claims. Staying aware of timing when realizing losses helps investors remain compliant and avoid IRS scrutiny. Maintaining clear transaction records ensures transparency. Responsible trading practices not only reduce risk of penalties but also strengthen overall financial discipline.
