Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

On form 1099-B, Box 1-B, my bank's form reads N/A, but the Turbotax options for something other than a date are 'blank' and 'various'. It won't let me submit with blank.

TurboTax is correct. You have to enter a date so the IRS can determine if your investment was held short-term (less than a year) or long-term (one year or more). 

 

If you don't know the date you purchased or got this investment, see How do I find a stock's cost basis? and How do I find a stock's cost basis if I don't know when it was purchased?

I understand, but my form does not have a date for Box 1-B. It literally has "N/A". This "sale" has to do with a restructuring on the company's side. Do I need to look up the date manually when the stock was purchased?
