After you file

Hi,

 

I have repeatedly provided my stock broker (Robinhood) with the sale lot pick for TSLA before the sale settlement. I have proof in terms of the emails that I have sent to them.

 

However, I recently asked them for realized gain/loss so far for 2021, and per the document, they sold my stocks as FIFO instead of my lot pick. Can I use the emails as a proof to IRS so that I can avoid paying capital gains on the sale? I have kept all the TSLA stocks that I purchased in the past year (and even added more). But the way Robinhood sold my TSLA stocks, I will end up incurring a huge tax bill, when I actually have not taken the money out.

 

Thanks
