Q: Hello,
I made a silly mistake this morning: I intended to sell all of my 200 shares of CAE in my non-registered account for a tax loss. However, I didn't double-check before submitting my order and ended up buying 200 more shares. Within minutes, I noticed my error and sold all 400 shares.
Do you have any insight into how this will impact my income tax return? Will I still be able to claim the tax loss on the initial 200 shares?
Thanks,
Rory
