Hi
what you said is not correct,
Please refer to IRS PUB 550 for how to report on 8949
Quote:
"If an option that was granted (written) expired, enter the expiration date in column (b) 'Date acquired ' and enter “Expired” in column (e) 'Cost or other basis.'. Fill in the other columns as appropriate."
based on above IRS note, for selling a option and it expired, acquired date is expiration date not the date you sold to open the position.
TT made the change since 2020 tax report , and it is still a issue in 2021 tax reporting, which is a headache for people to manually correct this false alert , which could be hundreds of expired option . please fix this issue and make it correct and matching what broker 1099b info that get imported...
