If you have run the Gains and Losses Report and you don't see any wash sale entries:
-
Confirm that you have checked the Adjust for Wash Sales box prior to running the report.
-
Confirm that you have selected the Stocks, Options & SSFs radio button prior to running the report. The IRS Wash Sale Rule only applies to stock and options trading, not currency or futures trading.
-
Confirm that your data file has the correct Current Tax Year value in the file name. For example, if you want to reconcile 2010 trades in a new data file, when creating the data file you should enter a current tax year of "2010", then import 2010 trades. If you were to enter a tax year of "2009" when creating the file, then import 2010 trades and attempt to run a Gains and Losses Report complete with wash sale adjustments for 2010, the report would not contain any trade details or wash sale entries.
-
Confirm that you have imported all trades for the current year and all trades executed in January of the following year.
-
Your trading may not have generated any wash sales.
