Zero cost basis transactions are flagged by the TurboTax system because they're weird.  "I sold a thing I didn't have to pay for" is a little weird.  So it flags them.  You have to go through each one and say the basis is ok.  It's a little annoying.  But it's sensible precaution.

 

Once you've gone through each transaction and said it was ok, though, then you should be fine.  The same transaction won't pop up a second time.
