Taking hours to get through review-- I have over 200 sell put options- and yes Fidelity downloaded directly into Turbotax- been doing this flawlessly for years. Today-- Im stuck having to deal with Fidelity versus TurboTax. I called Fidelity- they say its IRS acceptabe (here is the link to prove from IRS.gov https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1099b--2020.pdf , go to page 8 down to the left corner. ) It clearly states negative numbers in 1d are acceptable -But they prefer negative numbers have parentenses , eg, -$1500.00 should be ($1500.00).
Turbotax experts insist its a change for 2020 to have no negative numbers in 1d. Fidelity says okay. IRS says okay. Turbotax simply needs to fix the glitch-- a simple stroke of a coding wizard's knowhow. Done.
Please stop driving us Turbotax fans crazy.
