TAX LOSS HARVESTING: LOWER TAXES, STAY INVESTED

Ive been doing this with the markets going down, and it is worth mentioning...

Here's is AI explanation, which I edited for clarity and personal experience.

####

Tax-loss harvesting lowers your taxes.

By selling investments that have dropped below your purchase price, you “realize” a capital loss that immediately offsets capital gains from winners—and if your losses still exceed gains, you knock as much as $3,000 off ordinary income this year and carry the rest forward indefinitely.

Here’s how you execute the maneuver: unload the losers in your taxable account, bank the loss, then redeploy that capital into a similar—but not “substantially identical”—holding so you stay fully invested. This dodge keeps you in the market while triggering the tax benefit.

  • For example, you could dump QQQI (take the loss, lower taxes) and reinvest in JEPQ, a similar security.
  • You could dump SPY (take the loss, lower taxes) and reinvest in QQQ, RSP, or EOS, similar ETFs.
  • You could dump a VNQ ((take the loss, lower taxes) and reinvest in RQI (a similar REIT ETF)
  • You could dump SMH ((take the loss, lower taxes) and reinvest in ARTY (a similar semiconductor ETF)
  • You could dump VTI (Total market index fund) and reinvest in VOO (Index 500).
So if you dump $30,000 in losses early in the year, reinvest into similar securities, you then can realize $30K in short term gains, tax free later in the year. The presumes the securities are identical in its capital gains tax bucket (short and long-term capital gains are taxed differently.)

Do it strategically year-round or at year-end when you can see your gains and losses laid out. The payoff? Lowered tax bills, improved after-tax returns, and the ability to reinvest savings back into your portfolio instead of sending them to the IRS.

Warning: The “wash-sale” rule is a trap: buy the same security within a month before or after the sale, and the IRS disallows your loss, so be careful not to sell SPY at $10K loss, and then buy it back within 30 days, then that $10K is disallowed!
