Thank you for your kind advice.
I already called this number and my Case #[phone number removed] has been already closed without a proper response by your incompetent agent.
I have elevated the issue to Intuit's Office of the President and get the response from TurboTax Customer Care on behave of Intuit's Office of the President:
Your Intuit TurboTax Case #[phone number removed] has been Resolved
[ ref:_00DE0a8TL._5001K1EEDmt:ref ]
“Box B or box A has to do with covered vs non-covered stock, he can adjust the basis without changing that piece. For wash sales he just needed to check the box that there was more boxes with information on his 1099B and he would have seen where to put the wash sale adjustment."
From my view this is simply a cover up of the issue.
i) “Box B or box A has to do with covered vs non-covered stock, he can adjust the basis without changing that piece.’
If the user changes the basis he/she needs to check Box B, instead of A. I hoped that Turbotax did it in my previous Tax returns for 8 years. I’ve never checked Form 8949 after submitting the Tax report. If Box A is checked the user cannot make changes in the basis -- this would be in violation of the IRS instructions. As far as Box A is checked that the bug I found becomes irrelevant It only appears when the user tries to prepare Form 8949 with the Box B checked. And since the Turbotax 2022 has a bug in computing GAIN/LOSS I cannot do it correctly in any case.
ii) “For wash sales he just needed to check the box that there was more boxes with information on his 1099B and he would have seen where to put the wash sale adjustment."
When the user changes the basis it may turn the transaction into GAIN, LOSS, or WS LOSS regardless how it t was marked in the Form 1099B provided to the IRS. I do know that I need to provide this flag if I manually fill Form 8949 with Box B checked. However the new ‘smart’ team removed this option (successfully used by me for 8 years!) in Turbotax 2022. So even after the bug in the code is fixed in Turbotax 2023 I wouldn’t be able your package unless you return to the previous display design.
