I have capital gains associated with a mutual fund reported on Form 1099-DIV. I did not sell any asset, but the capital gain is attributable to their selling holdings within the mutual fund during 2020. I get error messages saying I need to enter the date the asset acquired, sold, etc. I had a similar capital gain reported the same way for 2019 and had no problem. How do I get around this problem so I can complete my tax return??

your amount to report is on 1099-DIV so go to that page.

You are working a 1099-B that you did not get.

I get an error message because there is a zero on the line which says to leave it blank if zero. This is the Form 8949 worksheet. I tried to find a way to edit it unsuccessfully. I printed the Tax Return and there seems to be no problem there. Can I continue with the process , disregarding the error messages (2) ?

I have the same problem on from 8949, error message because there is a zero on the line which says to leave it blank if zero. Wash sale loss (code W). But I cannot delete the 0 on the form. Turbotax , please fix the bug.
