Re: Critical Diagnostic: "A negative sales price and cost or other basis are not allowed for electronic filing." My client had an options sale, is there any way around this?

The transaction had sales price -$65.02 , $0 cost basis and -$65.02 gain/loss. Because of this one transaction on the Schedule D ProConnect says I can't e-file.

Enter sales price as -1 and cost as 65.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
