Why am I unable to export my expense transactions and connect my financial accounts? I have premium and want to use that feature rather than inputting it manually.

Why am I unable to export my expense transactions and connect my financial accounts? I have premium and want to use that feature rather than inputting it manually.

To automatically upload your business expenses to TurboTax, you can use the TurboTax Expense Monitor. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Connect Your Financial Accounts: Link your bank accounts and credit cards to TurboTax. This allows TurboTax to import your transactions directly.
  2. Categorize Transactions: Once your transactions are imported, you can categorize them as business, personal, or split expenses.
  3. Import to TurboTax: At tax time, you can import these categorized expenses into your TurboTax return.

You can get started with the TurboTax Expense Monitor here.

 

Important points:

  • You can use the TurboTax Expense Monitor at the end of the year to import your business expenses. However, it's designed to be most effective when used throughout the year.
  •  By regularly connecting your financial accounts and categorizing transactions, you ensure that all expenses are accurately tracked and categorized, which can save you time and reduce errors at tax time1.
  • If you  use it only at the end of the year, make sure to review and categorize all your transactions carefully before importing them into TurboTax.
