TurboBug: can't enter wash sale loss less than a dollar

I have this same issue. 

This is a software bug. 

This isn't a great fix as it requires you to physically mail documentation, which negates the benefit of using TurboTax. 

 

Will there be a fix to efile with no added mailing requirements this year?

TurboBug: can't enter wash sale loss less than a dollar

To resolve the issue, you can edit each individual transaction (although not from the screen in the review process) and delete the amount entered in the wash sale adjustment if it is $0.49 or less.  This will allow you to e-file. Please see this post Disallowed wash sale can't be zero but it won't accept blank

Thanks for trying to help.

This isn't really a fix for hundreds of transactions.

This needs to be in front of the dev team to be fixed. 


Again, at the risk of repeating this entire thread and others:  
(specifically @johnmcgee29)
I appreciate the helpful answer but in reality, this isn't a good work around. Either spend hours combing through transactions, or submit paper documentation? That is why I am e-filing, so that I do not need to go anywhere or request any further documentation be mailed to me and then mail it out myself. This should be understood, especially in the middle of a pandemic.

 

I sincerely hope there is a fix in the works for this to be rolled out to simply show the transactions with rounded amounts from the Securities Sales page or allow rounding to 0 on one line of code for goodness sakes. It seems like a small change that could save someone hours and needless risk to themselves. If there is no fix forthcoming, I can say with absolute surety that our family will no longer user Turbo Tax products in the future.

I gave up. They don’t care. Had to hire an accountant.

I've filled out their form for a refund. 
Looks like an accountant is in my future too.
