THIS IS NOT A REPLY TO you dampersand, but more of a comment for TURBOTAX.
It does appear that you can override the issue this year. It tells me that I have to review 339 things and that it won't take too long, then I go and do one (watch the spinning wheel for a while) and it produces a checkbox near the sold date with an X in it. I clicked that and continued and now I only have 338 things to review.
I wish there was a way to IGNORE that sort of error. We know it is there, we also know the IRS doesn't care and our brokers are going to always put the date sold as the earlier date in a SELL to OPEN transaction and the later date as the BUY to CLOSE transaction since that is what in fact happens.
So someone at TURBOTAX needs to get on board here or HR BLOCK is going to start to get a lot of business. Do you have any idea how many short PUTS and CALLS are transacted every single day? I have no money and I did 339 of them. We use this product to make our lives easier not harder, get back on track here.
