Why do I need to send a copy of my 1099 B to the IRS when the 1099 B clearly states "this information is being furnished to the IRS"?

I am an active trader and made several Wash Sales. In TurboTax Premier, a "tax tip" implied I could enter the Wash Sales as "one sale at a time" and enter a "summary" for the remaining transactions.This would preclude my having to separately mail forms to the IRS. After entering the data, the summary page contains the notes: "see attached statement" and at the bottom says "To finish reporting these sales, follow the mailing instructions". My question is - Do I still need to mail something to the IRS? and if so can I simply mail the page from the 1099 B containing the Wash Sale information? Thank you for any information you can provide.
