I appreciate the extra effort, but I did the manual entry. Just for completeness though, not to leave you hanging, I tried First Clearing. It appears on the dropdown and goes to a logon screen where I entered my Wells Fargo username and password. Not recognized. (On the WF entries that didn't work, they at least recognized me as a customer before the error message saying "system unavailable" or "failed to download.")
I learned that "Wells Fargo Advisors is a trade name used by Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC..." Then as you pointed out, "Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC provides clearing and custody services... under the trade name First Clearing." The former is not on the TTax dropdown and I don't have an account with the latter. Advisors is on the list, but it errors out after recognizing my logon.
So again, thanks anyway. It worked last year and it worked this year for a friend of mine. Maybe by next year something will have sorted itself out in the list of financial partners.
