I obviously would like the loss, however, it is 34 pages of detail.  The total proceeds and total cost basis match within a dollar or two - but the realized gain/loss is more than $1300 off.  What do you recommend?

My recommendation to you would be to enter the totals lines for each category of transaction from your brokerage statement(s), one for L/T net gains/<losses>, and one for S/T totals, also for wash sales). That way, you only have the totals line items as "transactions" - the IRS truly only cares about whether L/T or S/T and the net gain/<loss> for each.
