on the sale of mutual funds that has a wash sales loss disallowed can you reduce the cost by the wash sale disallowed and report that cost basis on the form 8949 reporting exceptions transactions.  I have one wash sale of $3.00.

    Are you trying to avoid the 8949?  I have been known to keep it just on Schedule D by adjusting the cost basis so the result is correct, but I don't brag about it.

    Are you looking for TurboTax support?

    Pro Series Basic   Instead of listing evry transaction on 8949 I want to just decrease the cost basis by the amount of the disallowed wash sale and report totals only bypassing reporting individual transactions.

    Assuming the same or similar workflow as PS Pro.... 

    summarize the transactions; code A - Code F and make an adjustment for the wash sale, then attach   8949 as a pdf to the e-file. 

    If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
