Ok, suppose I bought XYZ on 12/15/13 and sold it that day for a GAIN.
I again buy the same XYZ on 12/31/13 and sell it the same day for a LOSS/
I assume this is a wash sale so my LOSS cannot be used/
Now, suppose I do nothing in January, 2014 regarding XYZ.
It is now February, 2014
Am I correct that this loss is now recaptured?
If so, can I claim it on my 2013 tax return, or do I have to wait until I file my 2014 taxes?
