The sale on March 31 is a wash sale. The wash sale period for any sale at a loss consists of 61 days: the day of the sale, the 30 days before the sale and the 30 days after the sale. (These are calendar days, not trading days.
For example, if you sell stock shares and buy a stock option on the same company, it would trigger a wash sale and invalidate any tax loss from the sale of the shares. The shares purchased within 30 days before or after the sale for a loss must be replacement shares for the wash sale rule to be effective. You can buy shares and a week later sell them for a tax-deductible loss. This is because the initial purchase was not to replace shares already owned.
