I'm coming up with the exact problem as you and I'm confused as well. I know this is a year later so I'm wondering what conclusion you drew.
My confusion is that if I put the loss as a negative, what would I put if I had income? I am getting an error code from TT that this line 199a needs to be fixed before I can efile but I am just so unsure about it.
Any insight would be most appreciated!
