Only about 36 of 150 trades are reported on form 8949, but for everything that is reported on form 8949, the total of these entries is correctly reported on Schedule D in box 1d. Note that only one of these entries on for 8949 has an adjustment for a wash sale.
For all the stock trades where there is no entries on form 8949, the total of the trades is reported on Schedule D in box1a. If you look at schedule D, the description of box 1a is all trades where the basis is reported to the IRS AND there was no adjustments. But this is also true for 35 of the 36 entries reported on 8949.
So again, all I am trying to understand is why a small number of trades with no adjustments are reported on form 8949, and the rest are just totalled and put in box 1a on schedule D. I don't understand the inconsistency
