Wow samd, your amount is too big to ignore! I did wipe off some wash sale for tax year 2017 manually for those stocks that were sold completely by the end of 2016. Basically you have to edit the purchase price manually and add your cost (the wash sale disallowed amount) there. I didn't enter each trade in 2017 because I had 5000 trades which turbotax can't take, so I just entered the total cost/proceeds for each single stock instead. What confused the hell out of me is that I had calculated the wash sale disallowed amount 6k for the stock I mentioned in 2017, and was planning to add that to the cost for the stock I sold completely in 2018. Like you said I didn't expect I would get any wash sale at all but end up with 15k with a loss of 4k. And as I have sold everything completely I should be able to wipe out 15k plus 6k from previous year which will net me a loss of (-4k - 15k - 6k = 25k) ! And I know this is totally incorrect because I made maybe a bit more than 4k, so seems like I should NOT wipe out 15k but only 6k (This will net me a gain of 15k - 4k - 6k = 5k which is about right.... this just confuses me even further because I don't know what I should do with my other stocks that I am supposed to wipe out the wash sale.... And what makes it worse is one of my friends were telling me the 1099 receiving from the same company doesn't even have a sale record for one of his trade that he is pretty sure had happened... I am really confused. My plan is to wipe out wash sale disallowed amount for my other stocks that were sold completely in 2018 and for this messed up stock I just do what I think is right. Maybe I should not day trade or at least not with such a broken broker in the future! Good lesson learned indeed.
