Small consolation, but if you once get it to work it seems to continue working.
I had a corrected 1099 and thus had to re-download it. I was dreading it but it sailed right through like in previous years. I even had a reason to try it a couple more times and it was fast and fine each time.
I no longer think this is a server traffic issue. I think it's a problem with a "handshake" between the two companies. Schwab understandably enforces security protocols and it seems like TT just barely obeys them. Their new login-to-Intuit approach adds to the complexity. It's hit and (mostly) miss. Each side's programming may seem fine from their own point of view but fixing the problem requires cooperation and that seems lacking.
