Tax-Loss Harvesting: How OBBB Increased the Cost of Wash-Sale Mistakes

Capital losses can offset unlimited gains, but wash-sale violations eliminate benefits. OBBB increased the importance of coordinated harvesting strategies.

Why Losses Go Unused

Most investors:

  • Harvest losses without substitution

  • Ignore entity-level gains

  • Violate IRC §1091 wash-sale rules

Lakeline Tax coordinates harvesting across:

  • Individual accounts

  • Pass-through entities

  • Liquidity events
