If you are entering information for the sale of stock you inherited, in the Date Acquired entry field for Form 1099-B enter the word Inherited instead of an actual date. The program will then compute the transaction as long term and properly report this on Schedule D as per the IRS Instructions for Schedule D.
Note: Entering the word Inherited will still allow the return to be electronically filed.
