Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, this issue is still open. I also found out yesterday (more like 2am EST) that it is not just Vanguard, it is MANY of the brokerage firms' software not properly communicating with MANY tax preparation software systems. The "word on the street", so to speak, from professionals and others from the DOR, is that they are working to get this resolved as quickly as possible and hopefully by mid-March (15th, as this is Corp. Tax Due Date). So, unfortunately, the option for the time being still stands as exporting your statement(s) to Excel, categorizing accordingly (follow Form 8949 instructions for types - S/T vs L/T, wash sales, etc.), and manually enter totals of net S/T gains/<losses>, net L/T gains/<losses>, wash sales - DO NOT ENTER AN AMOUNT BELOW $ 0.50 as it will round to zero and that field in TurboTax does not accept a zero - just make it an even dollar, and don't forget about any/all interest and dividend income, foreign taxes paid, etc. A pain, I know, but if it is any consolation to you, this has happened in past!
In addition, please note that TurboTax is working on resolving the issue with "various" dates being entered, so if it is S/T (owned one year or less), use a purch date - any date - in 2020 prior to sale date, of course, and for L/T, any date that is over one year (ex. sale date 12/20/2020 - set purchase date at 06/30/2019) as the IRS ONLY cares about the taxability of such gains and losses, so this will categorize them accordingly onto the related Schedule D.
