# Wash Sale Detection

Detect wash sales under current US crypto tax rules (effective 2025), monitor the 61-day window around realized losses, track disallowed losses with basis adjustments, and compute safe re-entry countdowns.

> **Disclaimer**: This skill provides informational analysis only. It is NOT tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional or CPA for guidance on your specific situation. Tax law is complex, and the application of wash sale rules to cryptocurrency may vary based on individual circumstances, IRS guidance updates, and court rulings.

## Background

Before 2025, cryptocurrency was not subject to the wash sale rule because digital assets were classified as property rather than securities. The **Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act** and subsequent IRS rulemaking extended wash sale treatment to digital assets beginning January 1, 2025.

Under **IRC Section 1091** (as amended for digital assets), if you sell or dispose of a cryptocurrency at a loss and acquire a **substantially identical** asset within a **61-day window** (30 days before the sale through 30 days after), the loss is **disallowed** for tax purposes. The disallowed loss is added to the cost basis of the replacement position.
