I have a situation that seems fairly common. Or at least I think so.
I am sitting on sizable amount of company stock which I'd like to cash out for a home purchase.
However, I am on a monthly vesting schedule for my RSUs, which is a small fraction compared to what I am planning to sell.
I understand that I run into wash sale rules if I sell while I am still vesting monthly.
My question is, does the vest (effectively a purchase) negate any losses on the large chunk of stock that I could otherwise claim if there wasn't a vest?
Or does that wash sale only apply to the same number of shares between selling and vesting and losses can be claimed on the rest of the shares?
