Intuit should publish the latest specification for the file format used to upload data from financial institutions PUBLICLY. They clearly provide this to financial institutions so that they (the banks, brokerages, etc) can produce importable streams (files) to the TurboTax program. Why should they make it public AS IT USED TO BE? Simply to enable TIMELY drafts of tax returns from, for example, private (possibly Excel-based) records. Waiting until March or April in so that the returns can be at least drafted is a real inconvenience (and frankly has negative financial impact on TurboTax users). In addition ... I don't need these now ... being able to craft an electronic import for K-1 data can save EONS of time entering the myriad of crumbs required. Anyone who says "it's public" is being disingenuous. The version from "2017" is woefully out-of-date. PLEASE SIMPLY PROVIDE THE SPEC. It just HELPS your product marketing.
