As described in title.  Can not find a way to prevent an short call option that expired out-of-the-money from still being shown under account holdings, even though the share balance is shown as zero.  Spent significant time online chatting with tech support; no solution.

    Did you enter the cover short needed to zero out?

    Importing the closing transaction from TDAmeritrade brought it in as "add Shares".  Manually editing it to "cover short" did the trick.

    Good. Many brokers send the wrong info in that situation and you need to manually adjust it to a cover short to fix it.



    Glad solved
