Hi @PR99

This depends on many factors, especially your cost basis method.

From the screenshot, I can infer that you are using the Adjusted Cost Basis method (Canada).

I believe there is a wash sale rule triggered on this transaction.

The wash sale rule is the CRA’s way to prevent taxpayers from realizing superficial losses and the investors are unable to realize losses due to that.

This is explained in our article below:

Check the Cost Analysis tab of the transaction for more details of how this is calculated.
