Turbotax is not downloading my 1099-B - says I haven't entered my Username properly. this is nonsense. I just logged into e-Trade with the same user id
This is the first time in years of Turbotax use I have ever received this message.
ALSO - big pain in the ass. The Password field does not allow me to paste the password for my brokerage. I use very secure passwords greater than 32 characters. This is a bad application design. You allow to me paste in my userID . but not my password??
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Note that there are 3 different E*TRADE partners (Bank, Advisor & Securities). Be sure you have the right one. Also, most financial institutions that partner with TurboTax for import have a separate server only for importing. Usually the same login and PW will work as your normal account but there might be a problem with the e-Trade import server. Some financial institutions require that you allow 3rd party access for it to work.
(I tried pasting a PW into e-Trade and it worked fine with a Mac so that might be on online restriction.)
Thanks for the response.
Yep - I am using the Securities partner, as called out on top of my e-Trade statement.
At a minimum, e-Trade should it make it so the password being typed in is visible so one can see if it has been entered in error. Basic accessibility issues for a programmer.
