What are the wash sale rules on options?
ANSWER
The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:
The wash sale rule can apply to trades involving stock options.
Options present two different types of problems in connection with the wash sale rule. First, if you sell stock at a loss, you can turn that sale into a wash sale by trading in options. And second, losses from the options themselves can be wash sales.
