Do washsale rules apply if all positioned are closed before end of year?

As posted in subject... my understanding is that wash sales is really applies to losses on securities that are repurchased with 31 days.  I have similar situation where I purchased an ETF in Oct 2024 and sold for a loss in Nov.  I then repurchased the same ETF on Dec 20th (within the 30 day).   So right now the loss from Nov close is added to cost basis for Dec 20th purchase.  

 

*  Am I right in thinking that if I sell all of that ETF share positions before Dec 31st, the wash sale rule won't apply because all my profit/losses would have settled? 

 

* Are there any additional considerations on purchases of same security in the new year? (I don't plan on doing that but figured it could be helpful to wider audience).
