Unfortunately, you don't have many options.
Stock sales generally work a First In First Out (FIFO). Unless you specifically requested certain lots to be sold through your broker, the FIFO rule is what would be applied.
It does sound like you did have Wash Sales.
- A wash sale occurs when an investor sells or trades a security at a loss, and within 30 days before or after, buys another one that is substantially similar.
- It also happens if the individual sells the security at a loss, and their spouse or a company they control buys a substantially similar security within 30 days.
- The wash-sale rule prevents taxpayers from deducting a capital loss on the sale against the capital gain.
- Wash Sale Rule
If you've sold all of your stock , although they still show, the Wash Sales will have been neutralized.
Although the wash sale is disallowed, the amount of the loss is added to the basis of the next same stock that you purchase. Thusly, if you sell all of it in one year it will clear itself out.
