Was at the final review, had a review item and sent me to a screen to update the amount. Was a stock wash sale and the amount was only 0.19 cents! Will not let me enter a value into this box! Anyone else here having this issue? How do I fix this? Have had nothing but trouble using Turbotax, I hope it gets better.
Also still waiting for Form 8915B to be ready. Just hurry up and wait! So glad the IRS and Turbotax is prepared!

This issue is currently being investigated and addressed by the appropriate team. In the meantime, see the information below for two possible workarounds -- editing each individual transaction affected, or entering a summary of your transactions and possibly submitting Form 8453 and your documentation to the IRS.
The error messaging you are seeing with regard to the wash sale entries is a result of automatic rounding of the number imported from your broker or typed in by you. If the wash sale adjustment is $0.49 or less, then it is automatically rounded to zero. This type of rounding is allowed by the IRS. Unfortunately, zero is not a valid value for this field -- thus the error message.
To resolve the issue, you can edit each individual transaction (although not from the screen in the review process) and delete the amount entered in the wash sale adjustment if it is $0.49 or less. This will clear the error message.
To do this, you will need to revisit the input section for the Form 1099-B transactions. Use the following steps:
If you have too many transactions that would require editing, you can consider deleting your imported information and entering a summary of the different categories of transactions reported on your Form 1099-B (short-term covered, short-term not covered, long-term covered, long-term not covered). This may require you to mail a copy (not the original) of your Form 1099-B from your brokerage to the IRS within three days of filing your return. The Form 1099-B would be attached to Form 8453, which will print with your return.
With regard to the availability of Form 8915B, take a look at the following TurboTax article to see the latest information available:

How do you do this from the mobile app?
Never mind I went on a regular computer to fix this wash sale situation. Thank you! Now once I finally get this Form 8915B I will be able to file!
