    Holding period

    The program seems to be incorrectly calculating the holding period for investments. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Yes it's calculating all of mine as S (short term investment) even though they were bought 12 years before they were sold. Did you figure it out? Thanks.

    Clarification - you are entering on 1099B Worksheet Quick Entry Table  - correct ?   What are you entering in 8949 Box  (where you select A,B,C,D,E, F) ?   is this possibly forcing it to Short Term?
