Get your taxes done using TurboTax
it may be that TT can not handle all the transactions you had. the broker should be the one adjusting for wash sales and yes they apply to options.
two methods for you. - you can't import so you will have to remove that.
one
for items reported to IRS with a cost basis and no adjustments can be entered as a total only needing a breakdown between short-term and long term.
trades with wash sales and adjustments need to be detailed.
two
no import
enter the amounts in total that pertain to each line 1,2,3,8,9,10 on schedule D. (this is through form 8949)
include form 8453
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8453.pdf
read the instructions for the form.
you can then mail the 8453 with a complete set of the security transactions to the address noted.
note that there have been some posts that op's report they did option 2 without filing for 8453 and waited to see if the IRS requests details. i don't recommend this. if there are issues with your return, other than this, the IRS could claim you filed an incomplete return which is almost the same as them saying you didn't file.
