I report all of the sales, except for the wash sales, in the summary. Then I enter the wash sales separately on the 1099-B worksheet.

I just make a summarized entry that includes the wash sales in the proper box

Typically I have entered the wash sales separately but this time for long-term transactions, I about collapsed when I saw how many there were. Am thinking I will do a one-line entry on the worksheet and attach the reporting statement to the return. The adjustment amounts are ridiculous.... .08,.04,.28, etc. Will I go to IRS jail?

I just subtract the wash amount from the cost basis. I suspect IRS is just looking to make sure the gross proceeds reported by the broker match the amount shown on the return. If they are matching the cost also, why would they send a notice if the amount is less? Well, if I'm wrong, see you in jail.

oh that was last year, Ive gotten lazier, if its a covered sale I just reduce the basis by the wash and plunk it in the Covered boxes at the top of the screen.

My issue is that ETrade reports a wash-sale disallowed amount for positions that were closed last year. If I enter it in summary fashion, I lose the use of the loss because TurboTax adds up this amount to the gains. So, it seems that I can never claim the loss on my tax return.
