VTIAX Tax Loss Harvesting

[mcampbell]

Was looking and I could save a BUNCH on my taxes if I sell some VTIAX. Normally I keep a very simple stock portfolio, VTSAX, VTIAX, and some bond indexes. Anything I can move it to that would be largely correlated, but not a wash trade?

I sold VTIAX and just bought VTSAX.  It only threw my AA off by about 1% (selling enough to hit $3k in losses).  In a month, I'll either TLH VTSAX back into VTIAX (to acquire some losses to use next year), or I'll shift some IRA money, or I'll just let it be.

Thanks thinking about VFWAX. Seems dissimilar enough but still correlated
