Any number I put whether its 0 or 170 (which is what my 1099-B shows) it does not keep it, I click continue then it pops up again. I enter again. Then says "issues with e-file, do paper taxes"? How is this possible? There seems to be something wrong with the program not keeping the number and saving it, preventing me from filing.
The error message you are seeing on the wash sale entries is a result of automatic rounding. 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 for TurboTax, thus the error message.
To enter a disallowed Wash sale:
Income & Expenses
Note: You'll need TurboTax Premier, TurboTax Live Premier, or TurboTax Self-Employed, TurboTax Live Self-Employed, to add any 1099-B forms.

Did you read the post? This isn't a productive answer. You cannot "ignore" the message, it will not let me file. Hence why I am here seeking help.
Please read step 7 above. No one is suggesting to ignore the message.
This is a simple workaround that is designed to help you continue with your return.
If you select I have more info to enter that I don’t see here located at the bottom of the screen. If some of the loss from your stock sale is disallowed due to the wash sale rules, report it here.
