The Turbotax screen for 1099b assumes that the stock that I sold was acquired on one day, but it was actually acquired on two different days.
Are you reporting one combined sale that included 2 lots of the same stock? If the stock lots were purchased (or otherwise acquired) on different dates (i.e. for, 2 or more lots), then for the acquisition date field look for a dropdown menu. Are you able to choose the term "various" for the date in the dropdown menu? Or a workaround would be to enter them as 2 separate sales and identify the separate lots, the respective acquisition date for each, and the respective basis for each, etc.

@rosehart510 The above assumes the 2 lots had the same holding period in regards to "short term" or "long term". If the 2 lots have different holding periods, they would need to be reported separately in the proper sales category for short term or long term to correctly account for that. Hopefully, if that's your case, your 1099B from your broker should have broken all that down into the proper sales categories and listed the Box letter for that category under which to report it on your return.
