Wash Sale Rounding Error - Tried it all does not work

I have seen a good half dozen posts on this topic and I keep seeing the same answers, none that help me. Including a tech support lady who was clearly just trying to get me off the phone because she did not know. 

 

But clearly this is caused by a ROUNDING issue with TurboTax. But I digress, here are my two problems: 

 

Problem 1) Accrued market discount should not be 0. Enter amount disallowed in wash sale rules, or leave blank if entire loss is disallowed. 

Disallowed sale amt <0.>

 

Attempted solution(s).  First I tried (per TT experts and others on community forum) to remove the 0. from the EITHER the adjustment amount OR 'X - Sale includes disallowed wash sale (Code W). Amount (leave blank if all).  I have ALSO tried BOTH options.

 

Following the removing of the 0. from Problem 1 - I get a NEW problem... Problem #2.  

 

Problem 2) Accrued market discount requires a value when the sale does not result in a net loss. 

Disallowed wash sale amount <BLANK>

 

I am NOT using the online version.  I am using TurboTax Premier for Mac.  Any help you can provide would be wonderful. If its being looked into to be fixed that would be nice to know as well.

Wash Sale Rounding Error - Tried it all does not work

I spoke to a TurboTax support person today who was incredibly competent and we got it figured out. Removed all the error forms (since their already summarized on 8949 -- just need to mail in Form 8483 along with a copy of my 1099-B from my broker. Boom done.

That's called the mail-in election.

Some filers object to having to mail something in to the IRS after paying for TurboTax.

Some filers have thousands of trades and the printout is enormous.
