Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, Turbo Tax seems even have added more bugs than last year - and that must have required a lot of effort. As others have noted the Options entry process doesn't work if you use the "Expired" button. If you use it the basis disappears and you are left with 0 and 0 for "Proceeds" and "Cost basis". I found a work around. Use the "Sold" button (even if the option expired) and put 0 in the cost basis (which you have to do multiple times because, the forms don't communicate with each other - also happens in many other parts of Turbo Tax) . Another really bad bug is if an option was initiated in 2023 but does not expire until 2024 it still shows as income in 2023. If you don't catch this you will end up paying income tax twice on any gains. Because of these bugs you will have to correct each and every option trade.
