That is not correct. With options I can I don't have to have a buy to close a position. I can sell a call or put today and depending on what the underlying stock price is on the expiration date, I can simply let it expire. So I have a sell date of today and technically a buy date of the expiration date. That is how I've entered these options in Turbo Tax for years. This year, there is an edit that is not allowing the buy date to be after sell date.
