Reconstructing Wash Sales is incredibly tedious for an active trader, but your basic premise is correct.  Wash sales will accumulate until the stock has a sufficient profit to offset the adjusted basis, or until the entity expires or is sold (plus the 31 day waiting period).

 

TurboTax merely echoes the information on your 1099-B.  There is not an evaluation process regarding wash sales.  Your broker's controls are the key to those transactions.
