I've been struggling with the *right way* to account for wash sales. I've been reading these: - https://github.com/beancount/beanlabs/tree/master/beanlabs/washsales - https://beancount.github.io/docs/how_inventories_work.html#augmentations-vs-reductions
My situation is pretty simple: - bought some stock - a bit later sold some lots at a loss - automatic dividend reinvestment got me (oops) and this is what triggered the wash sale - few months later I sell the lot that triggered the wash sales I can adjust the cost basis of the lot that triggered the wash sale but the problem is that the new cost basis throws off my later transaction when I sell the wash sale lots. My case is exactly like this one: https://github.com/beancount/beanlabs/blob/master/beanlabs/washsales/irs-simple-example-1.beancount Except that after the last transaction there is one more transaction where I sold the lot with the adjusted cost basis and I can't get this to balance (even if I use an account like "Income:Investments:PnL:Wash" Any tips appreciated!
