Ameritrade 1099 import error

ChaseSydney — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 03:53:40 GMT

Getting document ID 11 character error when importing 1099 into TurboTax desktop. Tried upper and lower case to no avail.

Format of the doc ID is: XX########X.

I tried the example you show in the import screen screen A12B2456CD7 and that didn't result in the above error. Also tried 12345678901 which also did not result in the above error.

I guessing you have a formatting bug.

Thanks.

As I said in the original post I'm using the desktop client.

document Id was case sensitive...worked for me when I capitalized all of the Letters in the document ID as per my brokerage statement.
