State tax filing

HI @AmyC 

I am following up to your statement that a date is required for Massachusetts capital gains. ( This must stem from the graduated tax on capital gains based on holding period that was eliminated in 2003)  

 

As you can see on the thread, using the Desktop version, I used "various " last year without any issue.

 

At least if filed by mail, the Tax Return itself does not report dates.

 

Getting a little paranoid, I went back and tried to add dates but found the the "various" is fixed and cannot be changed  in several of the summaries ( the summaries themselves are rather odd, as ST is generally not summarized but all the Box D sales are)

 

So rather than try to go back to the federal form ( presumably the source of "various" ) I am going to file it with the dates I can change but leave the others alone, unless you think this will be  a problem.
