you can "safely create a date" .... CREATE a date???? LIE on your taxes? I'm sorry, I am not going to knowingly provide false information on my federal income tax form because TurboTax can't fix an IT bug. If it IS truly so trivial, and clearly it is not a required piece of reporting information otherwise we all would have it provided already on our 1099-B's... then TurboTax should quit asking. We already said if it was short or long term, if it doesn't matter, then TurboTax shouldn't ask.
