Hi,

My client's form 1099-B has too many transactions, and I want to report the form without manually entering all transactions.

I found it is possible to report it without entering all transactions into form 8949. According to the IRS instructions for form 8949, you can leave the date sold and date acquired blank.

But when I do that I get the error message, "Date Sold must be entered."

In this case, can I still e-file the tax return? Or is it okay to enter a random date just to get past the error message?

Thank you for your help in advance.
