however, they have a caveat
There is no clarification in the tax law as to how far “in or out of the money” the option is, or what month and year the option expires. So TradeLog simply applies this rule as follows: If the underlying stock is the same, then the option is “substantially” the same. For details see our Chart of Wash Sale Triggers section below.
others would disagree and take the position that options with different strike prices and or expiration dates are not substantially the same and therefore do not create a wash sale. don't know what your broker does.
