What is the basic idea of tax loss harvesting?

Stock

Tax loss harvesting is a strategy that can help you save on taxes by offsetting your capital gains with your capital losses. This strategy involves selling securities at a loss to offset the gains from other securities. However, it's important to note that the IRS has a rule called the wash sale rule, which prevents you from buying back the same security within 30 days of selling it. This is where Daffy comes in.
