Wash Sale Question


I recently liquidated my “play money” taxable account with a certain notorious broker with the intent to move to another one. Among other things I sold some NTSX for a short term loss. When the funds settled I withdrew to my bank account and they're currently being transferred elsewhere. I realized too late, but about a week later with my next paycheck an automatic contribution to my HSA went through where it automatically bought shares of NTSX within the HSA account. My understanding is that this is still considered a wash sale. Lesson learned to be more careful with payroll contributions after selling securities for a loss in a taxable account.

My question is how do I report this? The one other time I mistakenly caused a wash sale the sell/buy occured with the same broker. This time the sell was with and the purchase was through Fidellity.
