I now understand that the problem was the IRS. not Turbo Tax. TD Ameritrade reported the transactions in accordance with IRS regulations for short sales of options. These regulations, surprisingly, require the broker to report inaccurate sale dates and inaccurate amounts for proceeds and cost. The date closed (purchased) is correct and the amount of gain or loss is correct. Turbo Tax marks these transactions for review, but allows them to go through.
So, all now seems well.
Thank you.
