Question

1099-B stock has the Box 1b as "Various (or more than one date)" But I try to review all my taxes and it gives me a "Check This Entry" for it that will only allow a date?

It will not allow me to move past this page no matter if I include a date or not, it appears to be a major glitch

There is a procedure for entering Various into you investment transactions.

  1. Open (continue) your return if it isn't already open.
  2. Income & Expenses
  3. Scroll to Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other
  4. Answer Yes to Did you sell stocks, mutual funds, bonds, or other investments in 2020?
    • If you see Here's the info we have for these investment sales, select Add More Sales.
  5. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-B or brokerage statement for these sales?
  6. At Let's get your tax info, choose how you want to enter your 1099-B (type it in yourself)
  7. Select the pencil to work on the transaction
  8. In the date area there are two bullets.
    • On one Date, and
    • Something other than a Date
    • Select Something other than a Date
  9. There is a drop down menu for Various.

I've followed these instructions - the issue is a glitch that won't go away.

Hello, I am just curious as I've worked for many years on various tax software programs and what we've done in past I do not see suggested to you. My apologies if it does not work, however, give it a try just to see....

 

Enter -11/11/1111 into that "date" field that you provided a screen shot for.   Also, since I cannot see the 1099-B I am assuming you made the correct selection under "Select the information type you see in Box 1b". If the first does not work, try selecting the first and then entering -11/11/1111 and see what happens. 

 

Since all of your information is already in the system and I do not have access to such information, this should take you only 5 minutes to test. Be sure to jump from this topic after trying the above to "Run the Alerts" to see if you get any. I do hope it works. 

 

I am replying versus "answering your question" since clearly I haven't really answered it. Just trying to help.
