Unable to improt from Robinhood, TurboTax Desktop is asking me to wait until Feb-16th.

I can see 1099 being available in my robinhood account
but TurboTax is refusing to even attempt to import from Robinhood.

Why would Turbotax behave like all knowing, when it does not do what it is supposed to do?

This is beyond annoying.

Brokerages set the dates they have these datasets available it's not up to Turbotax, they are all different, and these import services come later than the 1099 PDFs. Robinhood is one of the later dates across the major brokerages, so complain to them; meanwhile wait 2 days.

I expect TurboTax atleast have a way to override and attempt import.

Unless the brokers explicitly refuse data import before relase date, TT has no reason to attempt import.

Exactly, there's no reason why TurboTax should be this buggy. I'm able to upload my Robinhood 1099 PDF into FreeTaxUSA and it's able to process it just fine. TurboTax immediately rejects PDF upload for me. Quite ridiculous considering how much money this software costs.

If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.

To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings:

Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL.
Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu.
Toggle the switch to ON.
Refresh the page and attempt your import again.

If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play:

Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements.
Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back.
Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser.
