How to apply wash sale loss to repurchased security cost basis
I purchased 400 shares of X on 4/15/24. I sold 200 of those shares on 7/17/24 for a profit. I then sold the remaining 200 shares on 9/6/24 at a loss. I then repurchased 500 shares of X on 9/24/24 which then created wash sale condition for the 200 shares sold at a loss on 9/6/24.
I then sold the 500 shares of X on 11/6/24 in the morning at a profit.
I bought another 500 shares of X an hour later and sold those shares in the afternoon on the same day (11/6/24) at a loss.
On 11/13/24 I purchased a series of shares of X throughout the day (100, 200, & 500 shares).
On 11/19/24 I purchased additional 400 shares of X
I then sold all 1200 shares of X on 11/21/24 at a profit.
Later, I purchased additional 500 shares of X on 12/10/24 and additional 50 shares of X on 12/11/24 which I did not sell.
Based on the activity listed above, I have 2 wash sales that were triggered (the 200 shares sold on 9/6/24 and again with the 2nd 500 shares sold on 11/6/24 at a loss.
My question is which repurchase do I apply the wash sale loss to the cost basis for each wash sale that was triggered? Also what is the adjusted acquisition date for each one?
