David received a Form 1099-B from his broker showing a "wash sale loss disallowed" amount from selling XYZ stock and rebuying it within a week. He noticed the cost basis reported for his new XYZ shares on the form was higher than his actual purchase price.

Why would David's broker report a higher cost basis for the new shares after a wash sale, and how does this affect David's taxes when he eventually sells the new shares?

I also have PGDM in finance, and my skills include SQL, python, PowerBI, tableau, familiar with Knime, Alteryx and also PySpark. I have done a DL project (CNN) in my master's dissertation and also have done projects with Regression too. I've been applying to companies via LinkedIn but not receiving any call back. Please advise!

How does the referral system work? Should I apply from the website and then ask for a referral or is there a chance to ask for an employee to refer internally? Would the latter option be considered ahead of the first option?

Please give some reactions to this post to help me enable my DM.
