I have hundreds of short term stock transactions but only a few wash sales. Is there a way to enter the wash sales without having to mail in copies of my 1099's

I assume that most of the trades are sales category A, where you can simply enter summary numbers and not send any detail schedules to the IRS.

It seems like you could enter your few wash sales into the program and then just e-file without any need to mail in additional information. 

Since the broker has already provided the 1099-B to the IRS that combination of entries would tie out perfectly to what's on the 1099-B.
