Tax-loss harvesting, a strategy that uses net losses to reduce capital gains taxes, is becoming more prevalent through applications like direct indexing. However, there is a lack of research on this strategy, according to a working academic paper by Harry Mamaysky. While tax-loss harvesting can be beneficial for wealthy investors, it is not suitable for everyone and requires careful consideration of offsetting capital gains. Investors are advised to consult with financial advisors and tax professionals to understand how this strategy applies to their specific cases. The paper also discusses the importance of factors such as intermediate capital gains, reinvestment of tax savings, and differential tax rates in maximizing the benefits of tax-loss harvesting.
