1099-B requires info from box 2 - there is no box 2. When the review was done, it asked for date acquired ... I just put in a random date because I don't have A date.

This is a mutual fund and acquisition is a monthly process so there isn't a true, single, date of acquisition.

When you don't have a date you can type in "various" in these situations.  

It still may ask then if long-term (held more than one year) or short-term (less than one year).

It is to your advantage to have long-term gains, as the tax treatment is more favorable.

If this is very large you may want to find the accurate date, or use various.
