Taxation of short sale hedges

Mar 16, 2017 0 Replies

Let's say I am short stock shares of ABC. Don't cover in the course of a tax year, but each week I have been buying OTM calls to hedge against a spike up in the share price. All the calls have expired worthless. Do I take a capital loss on those contracts?
