Tips for Taxpayers
No. 16,

Claims for deductions for, losses
on what Is known as wash sales
---sale and immediate repurchase
OF securities--are expressly disal-
lowed by the revenue act Of 1921.
Under prior acts there was no pro-
vision which prohibited an owner
OF stocks or bonds from selling his
securities at q price less than that
for which they were purchased
and deducting such loss. even
though they were repurchased i'm.
mediately.
Under the present statute no de-
duction Is allowed where It ap-
pears that within thirty days be-
fore or after such sale or disposi.
(other than by bequest or inheri-
tance) substantially identical
property and the property so ac-
qulred is held by the taxpayer for
any period after such sale or dis
position"
Owners Of stocks and bonds can
not deduct from gross income
amounts claimed as losses on ac-
count Of shrinkage OF values IN

The foregoing applies only to
owners and investors and not to
dealers in securities. who. by
means Of the inventory, are given

ties in which they DEAL
AS a general rule deductions FOR
losses are allowed for the year in
which they are sustained. How
ever, in order more clearly to re.
feet income, the commissioner or
internal revenue may permit the
deduction of a loss in a year other
than that in which actually sus-
tanned. The taxpayer, in his return
or an amended return, may deduct a
loss only for the year in which sus-
tained. If he desires to account
for his loss as of another period
ne must attach to his return ior
that year a request for considera-
tion OF the case by the commits

statement of the facts. Allowance
Of deduction for a loss other than
