Charles Schwab: what did your trading keep after tax?
Upload your Charles Schwab export to see wash sales (including across accounts and IRAs), estimated federal + California tax by year, and your after-tax result next to the same dollars in Treasury bills or SPY.
Which file to download
- Best for a full picture: your transaction history (the History page, Export as CSV).
- Best for exact cost basis: Realized Gain/Loss (export as CSV), which carries Schwab's own wash-sale amounts.
- For the Year-End Check: your positions with cost basis (or type current prices in).
Schwab marks splits as 'Stock Split' rows and dividend reinvestments as 'Reinvest Shares'; both are handled. Menu names change; look for "Export" or "Download" and choose CSV.
Questions
Does Charles Schwab's 1099-B already include wash sales?
Only wash sales of the identical security inside that one account. Buys in your other accounts, a spouse's account or an IRA are not on it, but the IRS rule still applies.
Is my file stored?
No. Your browser strips everything except trade columns, and the server reads the rest in memory only.
Options?
Not yet. Option and short-sale rows are skipped and counted in the report.
