Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy where you sell investments at a loss to offset capital gains, reducing your tax bill. Unused losses can often carry forward to future years.
Be aware of wash sale rules: buying a "substantially identical" security within 30 days may disallow the loss deduction.
This strategy is most valuable for high-income investors in taxable accounts. It doesn't apply in tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs.
