Can I type instead of downloading my information?

My hands are too shaky to take good pictures.

Yes.  You can also upload a pdf if you'd like.

 

It's best to use a computer instead of the app if you have a lot to type.  You can manually enter any of your information.  Here are the instructions for a 1099-INT.   Most tax forms will follow a similar path.

 

Here's how to enter a 1099-INT into TurboTax Online manually (replace 1099-INT with 1099-DIV etc. as necessary):

 

  1. Open TurboTax Online and navigate to Wages & Income > Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) > Add/Edit
  2. Choose the button Add Investments
  3. Under "Let's import", choose "Enter a different way."
  4. Choose Interest, continue
  5. Choose "Type it in myself"
  6. Enter FEIN from payer, payer's name, and amount of interest. Choose recipient's name from dropdown box.
