Question

I am attaching the 1099-B but there is a Wash Sale loss disallowed and it won't let me put in the code M.

Ok all.  I have a detailed 1099-B and have chosen to attach a PDF to the return to avoid putting in all the individual dated transactions.  But I have an issue.  There is a Wash Sale disallowed and when I try to enter that amount on the 1099 B worksheet it tells me I can't use the code M...attaching summary.  I am thinking I should just adjust the amount of the Cost Basis (or the proceeds?) to reflect that gain so the client pays the tax on it?? 

And.... after filling in the 1099-B worksheet 2 of the grouped entries say BYPASS 8949.  They are coded A and D (basis reported) on the 8949 type...so I assume that means the IRS doesn't need to see it on form 8949.  BTW...the wash sale is on the code A (short term reported). 

And this is the first stock sales I have had this year.  It took me forever to figure out the new format for adding them in ProSeries....just sayin!

I don't think you want to adjust the cost basis, but you might want to list that individual transaction.

Yeah...I thought about that and removing the amounts from the group.  I just didn't want the IRS to include that in the group or get confused.  OH HELL, why can't this be easy???  I would list them all but there must be 50 or 60 different transactions.
