How long must one wait after selling a stock before one can repurchase again?
It's an important strategy for saving income taxes. You sell the stock at the end of the year to take the loss and buy back because you believe in the stock for the long term. The risk is that the stock will have a run up after you sold and before you bought back. I'm not sure how long you have to wait (per IRS) to buy it back though. That's why I bumped into this question.

Can you revise earlier tax returns to use excess capital losses?
If you mean that you had a capital loss this year can you carry the capital loss back to a previous year, the answer is no unless you are a corporation. However, anyone except a corporation can carry a net capital loss forward to the next year after taking the mandatory up to $3000 deduction against ordinary income. Use the capital loss carryover worksheet in the next year's Schedule D instructions to learn how much you can carry over to the next year. If you mean can you revise a previous year's return to claim a capital loss you neglected to previously claim, the answer is yes. But generally, you can only claim a refund for up to three years after the original due date. This is extended to seven years for a claim resulting from worthless stock.
What is wash sale?
A wash sale is where you sell stock at a loss, then buy a substantially identical security to replace it during a 61-day time period starting 30 days before the sale and ending 30 days after it. If you do this, you can't deduct the loss. Three things happen in a wash sale from a tax standpoint--you can't deduct the loss on the wash sale, the loss is added to the basis of the replacement stock, and the holding period of the replacement stock is set to the holding period of the washed stock. The first one is the reason for the wash sale rule. The reason for the rule should be obvious: too many people were saving too much on their taxes by unloading stock, deducting the tax loss, then buying it back the same day because it's good stock and it's really cheap now. The second one is nice: if you bought stock for $100, sold it for $40 and bought it back a day later for $39, the IRS allows you to adjust your new stock's basis to $99--$39 stock price plus the $60 in disallowed loss. (The reason it's nice is it reduces your capital gain--or increases your loss--when you sell the replacement securities.) The third could screw you up depending on how long you held the stock in the first place: if you owned Acme for 20 years and dumped it in a wash sale, the IRS says you owned the replacement shares for 20 years. There are two ways to get around the wash sale rule: wait 31 days before buying the new stock, or buy stock in another company.
Can you claim a investment loss on stock for a company that went out of business even if you did not sell the stock?
Yes. If a company goes bankrupt and, especially, if its business is liquidated, you can claim the full loss on the stock in the year the event occurred.
