For the acquisition date, you can use "Various", just make sure you get the holding period correct - long-term vs short-term. Check the back of your 1099-B for supplemental information. Often there is cost basis listed there that is not required to be reported to the IRS, so it's not included on the 1099-B. If not, at this point, if you wan to file today, you will probably have to use $0 for the cost basis. Otherwise you will have to research it to determine what your actual basis is.
