Did I do a wash sale here buying twice and then selling?


I think I understand what a wash sale is, but does say this example mean this is a wash sale.

Lets say January 10th I buy 100 shares of google

January 13th I buy another 100 shares of google

February 1st I sell 200 shares of google at a loss.

my 1099 is listing this as a wash sale? just because I bought on two different days and then sold it all? Had I just bought it all on one day it would be fine? That sounds ridiculous…….
