I just realized I triggered a wash sale, and I'm a little confused
Have been buying quantities of VTI at various times over the last while
Sold it all on March 7th as I wasn't sure how much more it was going to drop. Sell price was $213.21 per share
Bought back in on March 18th for $225.27 per share, and this triggered a wash sale
So even though I bought back in at $225.27 per share, it now shows my cost basis on those shares as $238 / share because of the wash sale.
So to clear the wash sale, I have to sell it all again when it's above $225.27? Or when it's above $238??
How did the new cost basis of $238 per share get calculated?
