Get your taxes done using TurboTax

since these are short sales what are you using for the dates

i use for date acquired - date position closed/expired

for sales date I use sold and date position opened  - not expired (a contradiction because they did not expire on the date the short position was opened. 

 

i also reversed dates but still had to use "sold" to avoid the proceeds box from disappearing. evidently with Turbotax expired can only be used with long positions

 

also for short sales cost can not be blank. 0 is required for those expiring.
