OK the TaxAct instructions are clear. And that's exactly what I did. So, as in your example above (post#20), I have line 1 and line 3. But it looks like TaxAct adds line #2 by itself when you mark the transaction as a wash sale. TT does not (TT Premier never even gives me the option to mark the transaction as a wash sale).

Edit: I figured it out.
