8949 Form how to fill Date sold field [Various, Worthless]

hello,

I need your expertise.

about 8949 Form,

I have foreign stocks and there are multiple transactions so I fill 'Various' value like below.

CPA filed Various value at 'date sold' and 'date acquired' in last year(2021) .

so I've done same on 2022. but when I am filing I can see below message in TT.

can't I file via e-file ?

or can I change value from Various to 12/31/2022 or 'worthless' representatively and proceed ?

Form 8949 >

message in TT >

TurboTax does not accept various as a sale date. Tax Champ fanfare advises using 12/31/xxxx when dates are “meaningless.”

Do not use bankrupt or worthless unless your sales qualify under those conditions.

Be sure your transactions are correctly categorized as short or long-term and covered or noncovered.
