Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

Thanks for responding but i don't agree. I'm not asking for them to ingest directly from a PDF (although that would be easiest for me) but if there was a table all these could be copied into, then checked by the user (me) for accuracy as to numbers, methods, and term, etc. and then upload entire table. should be easy enough. THe program spits it out in tabular form, just need to be able to go the other way

It depends on the device:   1. On a Computer (Browser) The "Sign Out" button is usually located at the very bottom of the left-hand navigation bar (the black sidebar).  You may need to scroll down within that sidebar itself to see it.  It often says "Sign Out" or "Save and Sign Out." 2. On a Mobile Device (App or Browser) Tap the "Menu" icon (the three horizontal lines or "hamburger" menu) in the upper left corner.  Scroll to the very bottom of that menu. Tap Sign Out.
