Get your taxes done using TurboTax

First, I am on windows 10, I have the latest update and turbotax is not asking me to update to latest.  When I get to the import brokerage info online, turbotax desktop asks me for my intuit username (why????); I provide but then it hangs and crashes.  It consistently crashing so I have no way around this "account login" feature and so cannot complete my taxes
