The program generates forms as you hit the key items.
When you are adding the sale of the stock, there is a box that says I need to enter amounts from box 1f, box 1g, or other adjustments. Check that box. You can then list codes and make adjustments for your wash sales. The 8949 will be generated.

I need to add an entry to 8949 for an Opportunity Zone investment, with a "Z" in column (g), per IRS directions. I understand that TurboTax doesn't support form 8997 to keep track of the OZ investment over the 10 years, but at least need TurboTax to allow me to enter the IRS-required code.

The QOZ is not supported by the TT program since most taxpayers who use that option do not file their own returns so there is not enough call for that form to make it economically viable. If you used the downloaded version of the program you can make an override in the FORMS mode to include that on the 8949 but you will have to fill in the 8997 manually and include it in the mailed in return since efiling will not be allowed.
