How to import a K-1 into Turbotax using taxpackagesupport.com
Most k-1's are available on taxpackagesupport.com for downloads to turbotax. Just go there, create an account, navigate to the list and select your issue. You may have to verify your identity. In most cases you will have received a K-1 from your broker and you can input the specific account number (for that k-1) to proceed.
Entering K-1 info from taxpackagesupport.com directly into Turbotax:
First, determine if the particular file you want to download to turbotax is indeed available for that function (most of them are but I had one that was not). If you see three vertical dots to the right of the file line, click those dots and you will see the option to download the file to turbotax. Choose that option and then click download. (This action does not immediately download the file directly into turbotax. It only downloads it into your desktop program's download folder). And It will not name the file, it will only give it a number such as “turbotax-2.txf”. If you want to keep your files straight in your downloads folder for future clarity, immediately go to your downloads folder and rename that file by substituting only that number with a name that will identify the file for you later, for example, “turbotax-name.txf”. Okay, so now you’ve got the txf file in your downloads folder.
To import the TXF file to Turbotax-- I have a Mac and I am using the Desktop version.
Make sure Turbotax is open
Click on the dropdown File Menu at the very top left of your screen and choose “Import,” then choose "From TXF file."
Assuming you have turbotax already open, a screen will pop up on Turbotax asking you where to get the tax information. Click "choose a file." Go to your downloads folder and choose the file you want to download.
