Is there a way to set up a report to flag for potential wash sales across multiple trade accounts?

I am looking for a way to generate a report that would show me any position I've sold at a loss within the last 30 days so as to be able to avoid a potential wash sale.... esp one that would migrate into an IRA from a loss in a trade account

That's an interesting question.

I would start with the Tax > Capital Gains report. Set the date range to Last 30 days. Subtotal by Security.

Under Accounts in the customization, click on Select all (by default the report does not include tax deferred accounts) 

To reduce unnecessary transactions in the report, under Securities, de-select money market funds and any other securities with a fixed share price, which can't have capital gains. To simplify this step, you may want to create a special Security type "Money Market" and assign it to all of these securities. Then you can exclude them all at once by de-selecting them in Security Types.

Unfortunately I don't see a way to sort or filter this report to just include losses, so you would have to scan the sales to see negative values in the Realized Gain/Loss column. They are red so not too hard to find, or you could export the report to Excel and filter it there.
