I have short-term sales with wash sales. When I enter the summarized amounts for sales, cost and adjustments, the program requires me to enter a purchase date and a sales date. It does not accept various. I entered 12/31/20 for both dates and now these dates appear on the filed form 8949. Is this OK? Thanks for any direction you can provide to me.

Various for purchase, and whatever date for sale that you want to use.

VARIOUS works for purchase date, but not for sales date. I use 12/31 if I have to.

Lisa,

Thanks for getting back to me on my question. I appreciate your guidance on this one.

If you use the code MW you do not have to input a sales date. Put the wash sale amount on the left of the entry line not the upper right.
