Brokerage: Default FIFO algorithm for lot selections


Fidelity uses the FIFO algorithm for lot selection when selling stocks but this isn’t very optimal for minimizing cap gains tax. It has the ”tax sensitive” algorithm which instead selects lots to sell based on the most optimal tax impact. Is there ever a reason to not use “tax sensitive” algorithm?
