The meaning and definition of Wash sale -
Purchase and sale of the same or similar security simultaneously or within a short period of time. An IRS regulation (known as the Thirty Day Wash Rule) prohibits a taxpayer from claiming a loss on the sale of an investment if that same or similar investment was purchased within 30 days before or after the sale date.
