Say I sell a share for loss(eg. $100) What if I rebuy it next moment and sell it in a minute, but now on profit(say $200). Will I have to pay tax on my full gain?
Talking about this example will I pay taxes on
a) $200,
b) $100 i.e. $200 - $100 = $100
Please advice.
Thanks in Advance

This is not how to report it but provided you have stayed out of the stock for the requisite period, in a nutshell take all your sales proceeds from both sales, subtract the acquisition costs of both purchases and that will be your net profit or loss.

You pay taxes on net gains. $200 - $100 = $100
