Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Anonymous  I cannot find the "Blue Bar" that you mentioned and the "!" red exclamation point for the entries with errors. This would definitely speed up the process.  But still I would of those exclamation points to get through. 

 

Here is what editing those entries looks like:

1. select an entry. Hit "Edit" button.

2. Scroll down to "Box 1g - Wash sale loss disallowed". See if there is any value stored. Like the experts mentioned if the values are less then 50 remove them completely and leave it blank.

3. Hit continue. "Let us know if any of these situations apply to this sale" page appears.

Hit continue 1 more time.

 

On each edits, I get redirected to the first page out of the 14 pages of 300+ entries I have. There is no sign to tell which entries are okay. Now I need to find the last page I was on and then find the last stock entry I edited and click "edit" on the next stock.

 

Time: With those clicks, scrolls, edits and searches, and the loading time of TurboTax edit pages, it takes between 25 to 30 seconds on average to modify each entries. Let's say I have edit around 300 entries. 

25*300 = 75000 seconds

7500/60 = 125 minutes

 

That's 2 hours and 5 minutes I will have to spend on deleting that 1 field that is 0.00 instead of blanks, like the software requires it to be.
