Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Having Merrill make your tax documents available as pdf files in your Tax Center has zero affect on being able to import that data into TurboTax UNTIL they perform further processing on the pdf files.  And it remains a mystery when they might do it since they provide no notice once it's done.  TT users have to periodically try to import and will know when the data is ready only when they are lucky enough to finally succeed with the import.  That said, it seems certain that the problem lies at the feet of Merrill Lynch, although TT might be programmed more smartly.  It now tells users cheerfully that their data is downloaded into TT and ready to be used when returning to TT reveals the opposite.  Shame on both companies.
