I'm getting errors when attempting to import into Quicken - regardless of the file from which I want to import is open or not. When it's open. I get the attached, clearly - not a correct situation as Quicken is in the background with the file in question open. Sure - I know the TXF export/import is available, but can't we streamline this and make sure we have a correct error?

Wow...2021 desktop isn't really available yet..so you would have to be working on a beta version somehow.

@RogerSnook If you are a 2021 beta tester, I doubt that this is the proper place to report such errors ....and for the 2021 software, that part may just not be implemented yet.

@xmasbaby0 @DoninGA is 2021 software under active user-testing now?

@SteamTrain Nothing heard about user testing. However, the TurboTax webpage for ordering the 2021 desktop software has the following notice -

TurboTax 2021 downloads will be available around November 3rd, 2021.

Your card will not be charged until you place your order.

I highly doubt importing from Quicken will be available until after 12/31 ... the year is not over yet so you cannot possibly have your books closed yet.

Although the downloaded program becomes available every year sometime early November with the online following sometime in December they are NOT fully operational programs ... they are only beta versions. The final program and the state programs are never fully operational until late January at the earliest.

ANY tax software released by any company prior to about January 15 is only released for marketing and market share. No program is complete and ready to file until the IRS approves their final forms and then individually reviews each program's implementation of the form. And some tax situations aren't able to be filed until February or March, again mostly due to IRS delays.

It is now July 2022 and I am having this same error issue. Only difference is I can't find a way to export my data to a txf file.

@Outback What are you trying to do? You do not export an online return to a txf file. You download the data file ending in .tax2021 (or .tax2020 etc.) to open in the Desktop installed program. Or what data are you trying to export to a txf? A brokerage account or from Quicken or ??
