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?
