Import error report

mkentburel — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 23:18:39 GMT

I'm trying to import my data from Quicken for Windows Premier 2020 into the latest TurboTax 2020. Both programs have all updates installed. When I import in TurboTax I receive 31 instances of this message:

The import value "0/0/0" cannot be imported into "Date sold".

I don't appear to have any problem in Quicken. I did a validate of my Quicken file and found no errors.

How do I find and repair the transactions in Quicken that is creating this nastygram in TurboTax?

compare your gross proceeds 2020 in Quicken against your gross proceeds 2020 in TurboTax.

If the same, you can ignore those 31 messages.

I'll check that. The 31 messages are on a page with a header that reads "Import Error Report." In general, software should not report errors that can be ignored. Why don't these messages have any kind of error number that can be investigated? Why don't these messages have any indication of which transactions in Quicken are faulty? TurboTax needs improvement.

I have the exact same problem this year. Why hasn't anything been done is a whole year to address this problem. This is poor quality to me. Just like last year, software in general, and Quicken in particular should not report items as errors when they can be ignored. This needs to be fixed.
