What is an EOS?

Form 1099-B, I do not understand what it means when it says there was a sale of 5 shares of EOS-Options Trading Class. What is this?

Is my question going to be answered? I don't care about being congratulated on posting.

If you received a 1099-B with that information on it, then you need to ask the financial agency that gave you the 1099-B what the EOS sale is all about. TurboTax did not originate the 1099-B document, so there is no way they could even know what was the reasoning for that entry.

NOTE: EOS is a ticker symbol for Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II. Doe this ring a bell?
