How aggressive are you on this with your individual account?
Went bonkers with TLH this year in mine and my client's accounts, especially Sep and Oct.

What is the IRS opinion on Wash Sale for switching between s&p 500 etfs?
Should be fine.

Is the wash sale normally worth it to lower the cost basis (if it’s a etf you will hold long term)?
Yes. (1) Helps your taxes that year and (2) gives you flexibility should you need to sell something that is at a gain for rebalancing or cash needs.

I say do it. Dump it for 30 days. Jump right back on day 31.

Side note: you can only take a $3,000 loss each year on your taxes, but the rest is carried over to future years until you use it all.

Bet a lot of folks will be using this one. First year i will have to explain this one to my wife 2022 was a rough year unless you had a bunch of Health care / O&G stocks or Etfs. I was way to invested in growth /midcap to be honest and paid the price.

Are you sure about that? I’ve seen examples of switching from a S&P500 to say a Total Market Index or maybe even something like a Russell 1000 Index (so still fairly large caps), but S&P500 to another S&P500 seems quite a lot like a “ Substantially Identical Security.”
