This message (which I assume you see in the Federal Review) is referring to the Capital Gain Worksheet, which is one of the worksheets created by TurboTax for your return. As an Online user, you cannot see these worksheets (of which there are many) until you pay for the product, or buy the desktop version of the product.

However, I looked at Part IV, line 4a on a test return, and this message appears to be referring to the date you purchased your property. You apparently did not enter it in the interview.

Please go back to the interview where you entered the sale, and review your answers (especially the date of purchase).

This is a new forum layout. Some posts that have June 2019 dates are really older posts from the old forum that got moved over. So they might be for prior years and not current info. When they migrated over the dates got changed to June 2019. And the screen shots got deleted.
