What you are missing is the rule is not just within 30 days after the sale.
A wash sale occurs when a taxpayer sells or trades stock or securities at a loss and within 30 days before or after the sale:
•Buys substantially identical stock or securities,
•Acquires substantially identical stock or securities in a fully taxable trade,
•Acquires a contract or option to buy substantially identical stock or securities
*A reminder that posts in a forum such as this do not constitute tax advice.
Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
