1099-B Short Term Showing as long term

[moneyman91]

Hello,

My 1099-B has a sale made on 7/31/20 for stock sold on 9/30/19 and lists it as a Longer Term covered. I have other transactions for that stock as short term covered. I assume I need to get the 1099b corrected but would I just change this to a long term?

LT / ST is determined by your holding period.

Enter the Date  Acquired and TurboTax should put it in the right category.

You may be  misinterpreting what your 1099-B says.

If Import puts your trade in the wrong category you have to correct that manually.

"sale made on 7/31/20 for stock sold on 9/30/19". this is inconsistent. you have 2 sale dates and no purchase date.
