I hold multiple lots of VTI purchased over various points of time. 4 of those lots were showing a loss yesterday and I decided to sell those lots (only) to offset gains from sale of other securities. Only after the sale did I realize that one of the lots was held for less than 30 days.
I am still holding a few other lots that have gains against them. I am now wondering what I should do given that I accidentally triggered wash sale, specially since I hold multiple lots. I want to stay in VTI long term, but want to minimize how long I have to deal with the consequences of the wash sale.
So what should I do now? Buy an equivalent amount immediately and track it's adjusted cost basis manually? Any consequences for the other lots of VTI that I sold or the ones I still hold?
