Help!  I keep entering cost basis of 0 and date acquired of Various for several stock purchases, but somehow Turbotax is not saving my entries!  I am on a constant loop - I enter them and then they ask for them again - over and over and over!

If you purchased stock through payroll deductions (since you indicate 'various' for Acquisition Dates), your Cost Basis can't be $0. 

 

Are you entering Stock Sales from a Form 1099-B?  You don't report your Stock Purchases in your Tax Return.
