A1099B for one of my trading accounts, for trading futures intraday, shows a net loss for the year in box 8. However, TurboTax is not showing a way to enter this loss.

Is it possible that intraday trading losses are considered "wash sales" or something, which don't allow declaration of losses?

box 8 is the wrong box to enter. 1256 net gains or losses should be on line 11 - aggregate profit or loss on contracts but could be the same as line 8.   1256 contracts net gain or loss is entered on form 6781
