You can't buy back the stock for 30 days BEFORE OR AFTER
the loss sale.

31 days It's called the Wash Sale Rule. See IRS
Publication 550 for details.

Default repurchase of same stock

I wish to sell stock (A) at a loss this year. However I
plan to repurchase stock (A) again and hold it until it
shows a profit next year. I understand there is a rule
governing this move. How long must I wait to repurchase the
same stock and still be able to take the write off.
