Thank you for responding. I e-filed.  TT says my return is complete and accepted by the IRS.  The IRS site says my return was never received. They even sent a notice of non-file.  Maybe the IRS is just in the process of updating, but it still makes me nervous.  

@ JBearMD2asked:  "My tax return shows as filed on the turbo tax site. On the IRS site it shows as never received. What do I do?"   How did you file your return?   Was it by efile, or did you print, sign, date, and mail?   How long has it been since you filed it?   If using Online TurboTax, what exactly do you see for the status at the TurboTax Tax Home page?   Which of these terms is displayed:  pending, accepted, rejected, started, printed, ready to mail, or something else?   Which IRS site are you referring to?   Your IRS online account or the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   If you're getting a refund, when you use the WMR tool, use the amount from your Federal Form 1040, Line 35a.   Do not use a figure that includes your state refund, and don't go by a "net" figure that TurboTax may have shown you on a summary page.

disallowed loss is transferred to the triggering shares that caused the wash sale via basis adjustment Assuming no other considerations, when you sell those shares the loss will be deducted due to the basis adjustment. Your broker is required by IRS to track all this for you ; it is on your consolidated 1099-B.   @massachu 

The FMV stepup should be on the termination of the life estate.   It's when the life estate ends and the interest becomes vested in the person(s) (or entity, such as an estate or trust) succeeding to the remainder.

Try this: close TT,  move your return file to another folder, open the TT application but not by double clicking your return file, instead double click the app itself.  It should open a new blank return, then you can close the blank return and open your saved return file.
