Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Sounds like a short put from a put spread, sold short on 7/30/20 ('date sold') and then bought back (or expired) on 12/22/23 ('date acquired'). Not sure how GS is reporting it but you would enter it with date acquired in 2023 and date sold in 2020. And normally that would be fine if the short was opened and closed in the current tax year, but this one was opened in a different year. TT doesn't handle shorts and this situation well I think.
But the other issue is really the wash sale across years which may affect how you handle this anyway - this position was closed in 2023 and is being included on your 1099-B for 2024 presumably because of a purchase in 2024 that reclassified it as a wash sale? How was it reported already on your 2023 taxes? What gain/loss is being reported on your 2024 1099-B? Do you see a cost basis adjustment for the purchase that triggered the wash sale? I am wondering if this even needs to be reported for 2024, but may affect your taxes for 2023 if it wasn't identified as a wash sale in your 1099-B for 2023.
Not a CPA/Expert and never encountered this situation but just wanted to share some thoughts.
