I'm getting a check entry error for 1099b wash/disallowed amount but when I put the amount in and continue it just circles back to the question again. How do I enter?

Need to know the trick for getting this error corrected since it allows me to enter a value but then doesn't retain it.

Same. Does anybody know how to get around this?

 A wash sale occurs when an investor sells or trades a security at a loss, and within 30 days before or after, buys another one that is substantially similar.

• It also happens if the individual sells the security at a loss, and their spouse or a company they control buys a substantially similar security within 30 days.
• The wash-sale rule prevents taxpayers from deducting a capital loss on the sale against the capital gain.
