options that differ in strike or expiration date can not create a wash sale. calls are different than puts.
For example, I bought 2 options of ticker A on TD Ameritrade on 11/20/2020 for $58 each. Then, I sold one on 11/25/2020 for a gain $130, the other one I sold for a loss -$30 on 11/27/2020. Then, I bought another one on TD Ameritrade on 12/15/2020 and sold for a gain $50 on 12/17/2020. ASSUMING IDENTICAL AS TO STRIKE PRICE, EXPIRATION DATE AND TYPE THE LOSS FROM THE 11/27 SALE WOULD BE ADDED TO THE COST OF THE 12/15 PURCHASE. WHEN YOU SOLD IT FOR A $50 GAIN (I ASSUMING THIS IS STRICTLY PURCHASE PRICE VS SALES PRICE)" THE WASH SALE ADJUSTMENT WOULD STILL LEAVE YOU WITH A $20 GAIN. I stopped trading ticker A on TD Ameritrade. However, I then came to my Roth IRA and bought 100 shares of ticker A on 1/5/2021 and sold a covered call. I closed the covered call and sold the shares with a gain for $1000 on 1/14/2021. How should I report tax or how should I do with wash sale to the IRS in this situation? YOU HAVE NOTHING IN YOUR REGULAR A/C THAT WOULD CAUSE A WASH SALE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID IN YOUR IRA A/C.
