Currently, TurboTax Online does not allow viewing the raw XML code that is transmitted electronically to the IRS. However,You can see the data that populates that XML. To do so:   In TurboTax Online, go to Tax Tools > Print Center. if using desktop, go to the forms. Select Print, save or preview this year's return. in desktop, go to the forms. Choose "Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional)" if working online. Go to the forms directly if working in TurboTax online. Go to  "Foreign Tax Credit Carryover Reconciliation Worksheet" or "Schedule B (Form 1116)." If the information you are seeking are in these forms, it is in the XML. You can file amendments if the information is not correct and the carryovers did not populate in your return. This has been reported as an issue by some TurboTax users and this is being addressed by the developers. Meanwhile, I stand by my original statement "If your Form 1116 Schedule B shows the correct year (2025) in Forms Mode and if all amounts are correctly listed, then this information will be sent correctly to the IRS regardless what's listed on the pdf"   @Raytam .  

The wash rule rule prevents you from deducting the capital loss from a stock sale when you buy replacement stocks or securities (including contracts or options) within a 30-day period either before or after you sold substantially identical securities.   So, wash sale losses are not included in your reported capital gain/loss.   For more information, read this TurboTax Help article.

We are unable to reproduce this experience in TurboTax Business. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file that is experiencing this issue.

You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you.
