Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy used to offset capital gains, but it is directly constrained by the wash-sale rule, which prohibits claiming losses if a substantially identical security is purchased within a 30-day window [1], [2], [3]. Violating this rule can negate the tax benefits of the harvesting strategy [4], requiring investors to carefully manage trades to avoid these restrictions [5], [6].
