I'm sorry, DIANEW777, but that's a ridiculous solution.
The program simply needs to be better than that, because it's the programming logic that is creating the error situation. I understand the logic you used to arrive at the correct dollar figure for the profit/loss number, but why the all fuss? You have an amazing piece of software yet you can't work with negative numbers? It's simple addition and subtraction. Seems very bizarre to me. Why do you need to adjust the numbers in the first place-- that's what's creating the problem!! I am baffled about the rationale for even taking the route.
I have the same situation re: sold covered calls and I have 66 identifiable transactions. Perhaps you would like to come by and enter the data for your proposed solution on my return, because I certainly will not be doing so-- not happening!!
CLARIFICATION: MY ERROR IS OCCURRING ON THE NJ-DOP form (disposition of property)
Please do better TurboTax-- very disappointing. I don't expect a reply.
