Importing Information into TurboTax

Scottrade provides you with two options to import information into TurboTax®.

Using TurboTax® to Import

You can import your Scottrade 1099 directly into TurboTax®. This will require that you input your Scottrade® login information before TurboTax® imports your data. This option is available for both the online and download versions of TurboTax®.

If you would like to import the Form 1099 for your Scottrade® account using the desktop version of TurboTax® (store-bought or downloaded), you can do so using the following steps:

1. Open TurboTax®.
2. From the File menu, select Import, then From Financial Institution.
3. Select Scottrade, Inc. from the list and then click Continue.
4. Enter your account number and password and then click Continue.
5. Select the information you want to import and click the Import Now button.

If you would like to import the Form 1099 for your Scottrade® account using the online version of TurboTax®, you can do so online using the following steps:

1. Open TurboTax®.
2. Within your return, select Federal Taxes from the top menu.
3. Then select the Wages & Income sub-section.
4. Click the View button within the Import section.
5. Select to Add Other Documents.
6. Select Scottrade, Inc. from the list and then click Continue.
7. Enter your account number and password and then click Continue.
8. Select the information you want to import and click the Import Now button.

Exporting from Your Scottrade Account

You can also import a TXF file from the Gain/Loss & Tax Center located within your account. This option is available for the download version of TurboTax® product only.

Download Gain/Loss & Tax Center information into a TXF file:

1. Log into your account at www.scottrade.com.
2. Hover over My Account.
3. Click Gain/Loss & Tax Center under the Tax Information heading.
4. Click on the Tax Reports tab.
5. Select the year you wish to download and click GO.
6. A dialogue box will appear. Click Save, then select Desktop on the left side and click Save.

Log into your TurboTax® software and import the TXF file:

1. Open TurboTax®.
2. From the File menu, select Import, then From Account Software.
3. From the list, select Other Financial Software (TXF File) and then click Continue.
4. Select the file you want to import and click the Import Now button.

Keep in mind that the TXF file includes realized transactions only and does not include interest and dividend information.

It is important to verify the accuracy of the Gain/Loss & Tax Center report. After importing the TXF file into tax preparation software, compare the results of the tax software with the Tax Center realized report and edit imported data if necessary.
