I am also experiencing this issue, got quite a lot of trade to fix so manually fixing every trade is not ideal.
Please keep us posted on once there is an update, this is also the only thing to hold my filing.
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 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:

@ReneeM7122 Thank you for replying!
The page that I can see each transaction does not contain the column "wash sale adjustment" and I have over 18 pages worth of transactions to go through, not sure how I go about that if I need to click into every transaction. Please help to advise.
