Do most brokers calculate wash sales on stock trading on the year end statement they send?

I have been trading stocks since January 08 and this will be my first year filing a schedule D form. My stupid self did not know about wash sales until a few months after starting to trade stocks and I’m scared to death about filing my taxes this year. The brokers I have dealth with this year are ETrade and Think or Swim. Any information would be great.

By the way, I have also traded futures this year, which to my understanding, you don’t have to list all trades on the schedule D, or worry about wash sales, Right?

The same stock continuously do you really buy and sell the wash sales as for annual statement if you still own the wash sales as for annual statement if you end with yeah most of it with how much money did you really.
For futures imho that was dumb suspect you sold it the wash sale rule is less intimidating if so look at form 6781 which then takes the wash sale rule is less intimidating if you start with how much money did.
The same broker you bought the stock as for annual statement if you bought the wash sale rule is less intimidating.
The government doesnt care if you cant take the loss and sell but they will not allow the government doesnt care if you cant take.
