if your broker puts the SOLD date before the ACQUIRED date, it is your broker that is reporting incorrectly.
TurboTax recently ( 2021 ? ) added the check for this. It used to let it go through.
The Acquired Date for a short is the date you closed the short sale not when you opened it, or the date of expiry.
Disposed date is two business days later for stocks one business day later for options if you had a loss.
Otherwise Disposed Date is the same as Acquired Date.
Some brokers report this on your 1099-B correctly and some do not.
