The instructions seem to be contradictory with the stated e-file change for 2020. The key is to have the tax return completed with the correct end result numbers on the tax return.
My advice is to put $1 in the sales proceeds and then add that $1 to your loss and enter this in the cost basis field to show the loss on the transaction. This should allow you to complete your tax return. This should be done in all sales with a negative proceeds.
