.txf file entries with washsale info get imported, but show 'sale category' = blank in turbotax, requiring manual updating #5

This is a worthwhile program. Thanks for creating and maintaining it. I wanted to share an issue I have run into.

One of the entries in the .txf file has the washsale info with the taxref code N682 (per example 2C [1]), however, turbotax premier does not populate the 'sale category' (with 'box A') at all.

Example 2C: Schedule D, Capital Gain or Loss - Wash Sales - Form 8949 Copy A ^ TD N682 C1 L1 P50 QCOM D01/02/2011 D01/15/2011 $1500 $1300 ^

If I set the taxref code to N321 for this particular entry, per example 2D [1], then turbotax shows everything good and requires no manual update. Form 8949 shows up fine too.

Example 2D: Short term sale with a disallowed wash amount, use Format 5: (goes to Copy A Form 8949) ^ TD N321 C1 L1 P50 QCOM D01/02/2011 D01/15/2011 $1500 $1300 $200 ^

Thoughts? It seems reasonable that we should be using example 2D. Or is turbotax software supposed to be taking the code N682 to mean "box A" checked in sales category ?
