How smart investors use ETFs to legally bypass IRS wash sale rules
Tax loss harvesting is a very effective strategy for investors to trim their tax bill each year. Selling underperforming holdings in a taxable account for a loss can help offset gains realized elsewhere. You can use losses to offset realized capital gains and can use up to $3,000 of capital losses to offset other income each year. One potential roadblock, though, is the IRS wash sale rule (IRS section 1091). What is the wash sale rule? The wash sale rule disallows the loss if you purchase the same or a "substantially identical" security within a 61-day window (30 days before the sale, the day

How the page works
How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean a balanced tape or that direction has been withheld for insufficient evidence; the status label distinguishes them.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
The page describes completed evidence available at the stated time. It is research context, not a forecast, recommendation, target or execution instruction.
