Retirement tax questions

All amounts on a tax return are rounded to whole dollars. If the wash sale disallowed loss amount is 50 cents or more, round it up to $1 and enter $1. A disallowed wash sale loss of less than 50 cents gets rounded to zero, so there is no wash sale. You can't correct the problem in Smart Check where it displays the error message. You have to go back to where the sales were entered under Investment Income > Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other. Edit each sale and delete the wash sale loss amount, leaving the box blank. In other words, since the wash sale loss is less than 50 cents, you don't report it as a wash sale.
