Wash Sale

A wash sale may occur if a customer sells securities (including options) at a loss and, within the 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of sale, the customer buys the same or substantially identical security in the same or different account. The additional shares are considered as having "washed" the loss, and the loss from the sale is disallowed for tax purposes. The loss should be added to the cost basis of the newly purchased shares, essentially deferring the loss until those shares are sold. Fidelity Investments tracks only those wash sales that occur on identical CUSIPs within the same account. The wash sale activity recorded by Fidelity therefore may not reflect all events that the account holder is required to take into account in account holder's tax filings.
