This gives you $50 loss within 30 days of a buy for the same or similar security and the Wash Sale rules apply. There is no indication that the OP specified the newer shares were sold. Without identified which shares were sold, the default is the oldest shares were sold. In this case, the wash rules wouldn't apply since there were more shares bought in 2011 than sold in 2013. There is a gain on all the shares. PSU
