Investors & landlords
I'm seeing the same bug, thanks for reporting it. I hope we get a reply soon.
I'll include a few more details about the steps I followed and other issues I saw in the ESPP flow:
1. I originally tried to skip entering the Date Acquired, Cost Basis and Type of gain/loss in the beginning, since I knew I'd be choosing ESPP and it would get updated.
2. I continued on through the flow and choose the ESPP option (which is hard to find every year BTW and it always seems to be slightly different)
3. I went through end entered all the ESPP info and thought it was working (I didn't notice until the last of my ESPP entries that it wasn't updating the cost basis until much later).
4. It said I was still missing info, so I went ahead and started adding Date Acquired, Cost Basis and Type of gain/loss to each of the entries (this is probably supposed to be entered automatically by the ESPP wizard but wasn't).
5. I went back through the ESPP wizard each time I opened each entry to add Date Acquired, Cost Basis and Type of gain/loss, and I noticed that my ESPP info (Date granted, Date exercised, etc...) wasn't saved. Instead, it was auto-populating the whatever set of ESPP info I entered previously (I thought this was a feature at first, since it was nice when I chose sales that happened at the same time, I only had to enter it once). However, when going through again, I saw that it hadn't saved that info at all, but was always just showing me the info I had entered on the previous entry.
6. After updating most of the ESPP entries this way a 2nd time, I realized that it was telling me that my cost basis was $0 and something was not right.
That's when I found this thread...
Anyway, hope the details I added help you track down the bug and get it fixed. The ESPP wizard is the only reason I buy the Premium version of TurboTax every year. I shudder to think about how long it would take to do ESPP sales on paper. Please TurboTax fix this quickly so we can all get our taxes finished. Thanks!
