Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I did overlook the possibility of wash sales, but you can still make summary entries. You do not have to enter each individual wash sale, and you do not have to enter the wash sales separately from the summary totals or adjust the totals. The Fidelity statement will show the total wash sale loss disallowed in column 1g on the Totals line. On the screen where you enter the total proceeds and basis, check the box that says "I need to enter amounts from box 1f, box 1g, or other adjustments." Then enter the total wash sale disallowed and the adjustment code (W for wash sale). TurboTax will make a summary entry on Form 8949 that includes all of the sales in the category. Nothing will be entered on Schedule D line 1a or 8a for this category. As stated on Schedule D, using those lines is optional. You can report everything on Form 8949. In this case, since there are adjustments, you do have to attach a copy of the Fidelity statement to your tax return, even if basis is reported to the IRS.
NOTE: The instructions here and in my earlier reply above are for TurboTax for 2021 or 2022, since @baballew is working on a prior-year tax return. The procedure is basically the same for 2023, but the TurboTax screens have been redesigned. There are additional screens, and some of the wording is different.
