Is this stock and option trade considered a wash loss?

likehown asked:


I bought a stock and call and put on it. I made a profit on the stock and took a loss on a call and put option. If I buy the stock and different put and call option strike prices within 30 days, is it considered a wash for my options losses for tax purposes?

Are there any risks whatsoever to a buyer of a long call or put option?

I have been led to believe that the writer is the only one who would ever have to surrender shares of a stock in options trading, that the buyer only loses his investment of premium in the call or put at the most. Is this true?
