Deductions & credits

Spoke to support agent named Chizel at TurboTax today, April 24th about problems with Cost Basis transfer from eTrade.

She said they know about it, it just started happening this year and  and are working on fixing it for next year - no plan to fix it this year!  For this year either enter them all by hand from printed 1099 or do this (which she confirmed as "legal")...

"You are not required to upload or enter all of your trades. 

First make sure you completely delete anything you imported.  Then go back and select to enter trades manually.   You are only entering 1 SALE for each account.  The SALE you enter will be the total of your Proceeds and Cost Basis.   eTrade provides this information on the 1099-B Total Summary Page. "

 

Unbelievable!
