Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are entering Summary Totals, you'll have 3 lines; Short Term Sales, Long Term Sales, Wash Sales. The Wash Sales don't affect Gain/Loss but keep track of Loss Disallowed for final sale reporting.
You will need to mail in Form 8453 (cover sheet) with a copy of your 1099-B pages for covered transactions with adjustments (Wash Sales).
If you have two pages (for example) of Wash Sales, use Adobe Reader to print those two pages. That's all you have to mail to the IRS, given that those wash sales are not on your e-Filed form 8949 already.
(you might enter them manually if they are few in number.)
Here's how to mail your statements:
If you are e-filing your tax return, then mail your statement along with Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return to:
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX 73344-0254
