I sold ESPP stock (std 15% discount) and I'm having a problem figuring out the actual cost basis. My 1099-B is showing me short term and long term sales. Under the short term for date acquired it has "various", where as the long term it has an actual date. I sold all my shares on the same date. I've googled and I'm coming up with a way to calculate, but they keep needing the acquired date, and "various" is not helping. Am I able to treat the two totals of the proceeds as just one total and figure from there? I'm so confused.
I tried to let Turbo Tax help me but I ended up having to fill out the info on the Form 3922 I received for both short and long term lines, and then they popped up my true cost which was not even close to what is on my W2 under DISQ. So I'm not sure if they are figuring the cost for each line separately or what. I guess the next question would be is if I let TT figure it out, am I supposed to enter both of my 3922's after I enter "each sale". "Each" as I seem to have to separate from short and long term. Background I just got into the stock purchase plan Jan of 22, and it goes for 6 months so I have two 3922's from my company with two lines each for the 6 month periods. I sold all the stock I was able to on 8/1/23.
