Wash sales are counted as capital gain

After imported 1099-B, there are a few wash sales. I understand that I can't claim a loss from these wash sales. But they should not be counted as gains as well, right? But they are counted as capital gains although everything are correctly entered. For example: I have an entry in my 1099-B with the numbers:
Box 1d (proceeds): $3000

Box 1e (cost or other basis): $4000

Box 1g (Wash sale loss disallowed): $1000

 

The final result shows that I have a capital gain of $1000 rather than $0. I am using Turbotax Premier 2023 desktop edition
