Wash sale rule and IRA contribution timing guidance
The wash sale rule disallows deductions when a loss stock sale is followed by a call purchase within 61 days. The 61 day window spans 30 days before to 30 days after the sale. For IRAs, contributions may be deductible if made within 45 days after year end, with deductions applying to the year the contribution is applied. IRA setup can occur in the same taxable year as the contribution.
