Assume James purchased 1000 shares Microsoft Inc. stock on Jan. 12, 2004 for $28,000. On May 12, 2005 he sells it for $25,000. On June 1, 2005 he buys back 700 shares of Microsoft stock for $15,000. Discuss and explain the tax ramifications to James on his 2005 federal Income Tax return.
Assume he also purchased 100 shares of IBM on May 13, 2005 for $8,000 and sold it for $14,000 on October 12, 2005. How does this transaction combine with the first transaction?
