If Fidelity really is reporting a 2018 sale as occurring in 2020, you will have to contact them and get them to issue a corrected 1099. Or explain why the sale was in 2020 and not 2018.
You must report the capital gain in the year in which you sold the stock. You cannot report it in a different year.
