### Comment:
I’m really not sure about that. There are some articles with tax advisors talking about those exact 2 securities. The question is- since 1 has voting rights and the other does not, are they still substantially identical? Who decides what “substantially” identical means? They’re not the same security, so in the purest sense, they’re not substantially identical. But they’re “super similar.” Idk. I’ll let you know if I get audited.

### REPLY:
Lol please do. I was watching a Berkshire meeting where Charlie and Warren were asking the same about BRKb and BRKa which also have different voting rights. Charlie wasn’t sure but Warren was saying they should be considered the same for wash sale purposes. More likely that the IRS cares about big whales holding BRKa though. I could see the argument for either side
