Investors & landlords

If you are trading actively, I believe you need to make sure you understand the tax consequences of your trades and be able to track your basis; especially if you are trading the same stock and "double especially" if you are trading within that 30 day window of the wash sale rules.

You need to also determine if you are an investor, active trader or active trader with a Section 475 election in place.  Because the later trader, known as trader tax status (with a 475 election), marks all open investments to market at the end of the year and all gains and losses are ordinary instead of capital gain / loss.

So at this point, since you just indicate that you are a trader, we have no idea which status you really fall into.  Plus, this is a facts and circumstances test so this determination is beyond the scope of this forum.

If the wash sale rules apply, any disallowed loss on the first transaction is rolled into the basis of your next purchase and only apply if there is a loss.  With you just providing the net gain or loss it is difficult to determine exactly how you are arriving at your figures.

Take a look at this high level discussion of the wash sale rules:
