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.

Did you import these transaction or entered them in manually? Are you using TurboTax Online or the Desktop product? How many transactions do you have?
