1099b sales of stocks and bonds - I received these from my company but I keep getting thrown into the D-71 form which wants a date sold I have not sold the stock?

I received a 1099- B form. My company gave me shares of stock. I filled that form out. I have not sold them. 

The form D-71 keep requesting i put a date sold in.

If you received a 1099-B, that indicates that investments were sold.  Maybe your company sold the stock, then gifted it to you?

There should be a Date Acquired, Date Sold, Cost/Basis, and Proceeds.  In a stock sale, you are taxed on any gain between the Cost and Proceeds (or you report a loss if the Cost is higher than the Proceeds).

If the 1099-B is in your name, but you believe there is an error, you should contact your company.
