As I think you know (or would know, if you had tried your own "solution" even once), that does NOT solve it. The date acquired is always there. On the final check screen the buggy and clearly untested TurboTax Online claims it's not there. That is when it erases it. AFTER trying to go and file the return, then yes, the date is gone, that was there just minutes ago, no matter how many times one logged out and logged back in to ensure that it's saved and correct. One can go back and enter the date, yes. VARIOUS or actual date, doesn't matter. TT will always REMOVE the date that is entered at the final check, at the time it comes up with this ridiculous message and blocks one from filing.
It's highly disrespectful to your customers to provide such bogus "solutions" that you yourself know do not solve anything (but sure, make Intuit look less bad, as it is logical and makes sense) and just will waste your customers hours upon hours of more time trying to do, given the fact that TT is programmed to ERASE the date acquired at the final step, no matter if it's downloaded or entered manually, no matter if it's an actual date or VARIOUS.
