Hey MMMs,
How does the wash sale rule affect robo-advisor automated tax loss harvesting if your other investment accounts (i.e Vanguard, Fidelity) aren't linked up to Wealthfront? Wealthfront wouldn't be able to monitor this, correct?
I like the automated tax-loss harvesting but if I can eventually do it myself than I'll transfer the money out into Vanguard or Fidelity brokerage accounts. Would I potentially run into the wash sale rule with roboadvisers automatic tax-loss harvesting and automatic reinvesting dividend in Vanguard/Fidelity accounts?
What would you guys recommend?
