"Turbo tax will not accept the date sold as various how can I get past this error."
That's not an error. "Various" is not acceptable for the date sold.
If on the page titled "Tell us about your [Broker Name] 1099-B", the page that gives you the options of:
- I'll enter one sale at a time, and
- I'll enter a summary for each sales category
you've selected "summary", (knowing that you'll have mail in the Form 8949 or acceptable substitute), then you're not asked for dates; it's understood that they all occurred in 2017. If you instead selected "one sale" then you have to enter each trade separately.
