Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank You WendyN2.   now while your advice is a little late from my question last year.  I was indeed importing my 1099-B's and it was making both turbo tax desktop and turbo tax online worthless,  and unusable.  So this year I stopped importing and I am not typing it in by hand.   Last year my 1099-B's were not that big and it killed Turbo Tax when importing.   This year (2020) one of my 1099-B's alone was over 300 pages because of losing everything on Margin Calls, so I knew there was no way Turbo Tax was going to work if I imported it.  So a financial tax accountant friend told me I don't need to enter every transaction and to just enter the sums just like you suggested.   That is working and I am not having the hour long and longer spinning icon and constant time outs and failures in Turbo Tax now that I am stopped using their import feature.    I wonder why they self injure themselves and import every single transaction instead of just the sum totals?
