1 Tax-loss harvesting involves selling an investment that has lost value (from the price the investor originally paid for it) to create a capital loss that can be used to offset capital gains on another investment, either now or in the future.
2 The Internal Revenue Service’s wash-sale rule regulates the timing around how quickly a substantially identical security can be purchased after the underperforming asset was sold to realize a tax benefit from tax-loss harvesting.
