If date acquired for a stock has already been entered, why does it keep asking for "date acquired" after federal review check?

[gloriah5200]

In looking at why TurboTax keeps asking for date acquired after you have already entered it, here are some things to look at:

Is the date entered in the correct format? 

Check to be sure there are no blank spaces before or after the date entered.  A space could cause the software to read no entry.

It might even help to go into that field and re-enter the date acquired and pay careful attention to the formatting (are you or the software entering the / ?) and be sure to not enter any blank spaces at the beginning, end, or in the middle of the date entered.

the dare format and everything are correct, but it keeps asking you for the date acquired.

I'm having the same issue.  Does anyone have a solution.  I checked the dates for extra spaces, etc., but nothing is working.

Are any of these cases where the Date Acquired = Date Sold)?

If so, enter the Date Acquired as one day earlier than actual (the program thinks you are making an error with Date Acquired = Date Sold).

This will not have any effect on your gain/loss calculation, or your tax calculation and it will not create any error with the IRS.

The date acquired is different than the date sold.  Thanks for helping through.

Do we have any update for this?  I dont see any problem with date and still repeatedly asking for date acquired.

Any help here is appreciated

Some users are reporting an issue after importing their 1099-B form. After receiving a Check this entry error message, they see the Date acquired field is blank.

To fix this, please manually enter your Date acquired info. You’ll then be able to continue through your return.
