Seriously? There are no "special files". It's the same financial data used to generate the PDF forms.
It appears that there's no shortage of speculative, overly complicated, nonsensical, and hocus-pocus explanations for something quite simple: TurboTax is set to block the user from downloading their data until an arbitrary date.
I rolled the clock forward three weeks on my computer and downloaded the pertinent data.
This is just a lazy, arbitrary, and end-user hostile "feature".
In this case TurboTax provides roadblocks rather than assistance in gathering my financial data.
I'll wait until April to submit and pay my taxes leaving more than enough time for corrections or updates should any be needed.
