You don't need beersmith to figure it out.
If you know the yeast strain/type can look up the anticipated attenuation at their website, usually expressed as a percentage, and apply it to your OG.
example: your OG was 1049, if you used Wyeast 3638 Bavarian Wheat which has an expected attenuation of 70-76%, your expected FG would be 70-76% of your OG or, 1014 - 1012.

The yeast I used was Safbrew WB-06 "Dry Wheat Beer Yeast" (Fermentis). I checked their website for specs but didn't find anything about attenuation, except a note that says "Final Gravity: high" (also noted on the yeast packet). Is there some place else I can find the attenuation info?

I did some more web searching: one website said this yeast has 76% attenuation, another said "medium to medium low". Using 76% it looks like I should expect an FG of 1013 based on an actual OG of 1050. Thanks for the help everyone!
