What they did
A product engineer gave Grok Bot read-only access to his brokerage account and asked for tax-loss harvesting opportunities, something he knew about but had never acted on. He says it saved him about $6,500 on next year's taxes, and he shared a free template.
How it went
A list of losing positions to sell, the estimated tax saving, replacements, and wash-sale warnings.
Worth knowing
- Single user post; the $6.5k is his estimate. It only works in taxable accounts and must happen before the tax year ends. Wash-sale rules can cancel the benefit, so check with a tax professional.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Look at my brokerage positions in [account] (read-only). Find tax-loss harvesting opportunities for [year]: positions with unrealised losses, the estimated tax saving at my [bracket], and a similar (not substantially identical) replacement for each so I stay invested. Flag wash-sale risks, including purchases in my other accounts in the last 30 days. Don't place any trades.
