How can I change form 8949 to list transaction as short-term instead of long-term? (Sale of inherited home; held for less than one year; sold for loss.)

TT asks for date sold, but not date acquired.

A sale of inherited property is always treated as long-term, no matter how long you actually owned it.

Thanks.

I found this, in case anyone sees this in the future:

Holding period. If you sell or dispose of inherited property that is a capital asset, the gain or loss is considered long-term, regardless of how long you held the property.

(This pub link presently shows a prior tax year, but the draft version of the form for the current year contains the same language.)
