I'm not quite sure how this would work.
I sold 1200 ford shares at a loss of $2700 2 days ago and re-invested that in a similar stock
Just today, 6 of my margin put sells were exercised on ford at $13 strike
I don't know how this would work as my wash sale.
Does the wash sale go by shares, net cash amount, or just if you buy any of the stock at all within 31 days?
If I sold now, I'd still technically start a new tax loss of $1000 but that being an actual real loss unless I re-invest that margin.
How would this work? Thanks.
