OK, let's say in late December, 2021, you buy 1000 sh. of XYZ at 10 and sell it at 9, so you lose $1000. Furthermore, suppose you do this 5 times, so you have $5000 in losses for 2021 all accrued in late December.
Now suppose for some reason you don't want to claim this loss in 2021.
So, if you buy/sell XYZ in early January, 2022, will the wash sale move that loss into 2022?
