I know the reason for the dates. But TT tax does not provide complete instructions and what it does provide is incorrect. And yet it could, for I found by messing around and both losing time and regard for TT developers and managers. Also a table shown earlier, later indicates implicitly that the correction is made.
Moreover, the "various" refers to a stock sold at several times during the tax year. And nowhere does TT indicate where one might enter "LT" or 'ST' or instruct the customer that attaching a list of the stocks and sales dates would work.
Sloppy job from a non-governmental. private, profit-making organization. Just being somewhat better than the competition should not be a sufficient goal.
