Is TurboTax going to issue an update to resolve this wash sale issue?

I’ve tried doing all the things recommended on this site regarding wash sales and still have a couple of returning errors on smart check.  Is TurboTax going to issue an update to address this glitch?

The way to adjust the errors in TurboTax Online is to return to the original entry. There is no way to adjust the wash sale at the Review.

To return to the Investment Section, leave the Review by following these steps:

• Click Federal from the left menu.
• Scroll down to Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other and Review.
• Click the Review button by the stocks that need correction. 
• Click the pencil icon next to the stock transaction at Review your sales.
• Continue through the next screens until you again are at Review your sales and reach Now we'll walk you through entering your sale details. Scroll down and check the box for I have more info to enter that I don't see here.
  • When testing this, I was able to enter amounts less than $1 in this area.

To adjust these worksheets in TurboTax CD/Download:

To correct the wash sale, try using the "Capital g/l adj" page. instead by following these steps:

• From the Forms Mode, click Open Form.
• In the Search box, enter Capital gn.
• Under Form 1099-B Worksheet, select Capital gn(ls) adjustments/other info and Open Form.
• A new window will open: Step 1: Add Capital gn (ls) adjustments/other info. Scroll to find the sheet for Capital g/l adj and select Next and Finish.
• In Part III Specific Adjustments, scroll down and check the box next to Sale includes a disallowed wash sale loss (code W). Amount (leave blank if all)
• Click on the box where an amount should be. Then, a + will occur to the left.
• Click on the + Icon to open up the Description and Amount Worksheet and list your amounts here with the pennies.
