Would it be a wash sale if I sell a stock and write a ITM CSP that’s 45 days out? I will go deep ITM to be guaranteed assignment. The stock will be MSFT, sell the stock now and write end of April $450 CSPs.

I have about $75k in gains this year so far and expect to have some more in covered call down the line. Trying to book some losses to offset. Thanks,
