Attempting to import 1099-INT and 1099-DIV from Charles Schwab but get an error message stating that access is denied. I've spoken to two different individuals from Charles Schwab and they tell me to contact Turbo Tax. There is too much information to enter manually. Please tell me what I could do to enable this import. Thank you.
You can try clearing the cache on your computer and rebooting. Also, use a different web browser when you do the import.
As an active investor, be aware that your category Box A or Box D sales without adjustments do not require Form 8949, so there is no reason to import or key in those transactions.
Instead use the "enter a summary" option to put your numbers on Schedule D Line 1a or Line 8a.
No mailing is necessary.

If you have wash sales, it gets more complicated since those adjusted transactions have to be itemized on Form 8949 and the summary totals adjusted accordingly.
Enter the wash sales on Form 8949, then use the subtotal results on the bottom of that form (Line 2) to know how much to subtract which gives you the Schedule D line 1a totals. Be sure to NOT check the adjustments box in the summary window.
Alternatively, if entry of Wash Sales is too tedious,
summarize and check the box for adjustments and enter the disallowed amount.
This summary will go on Schedule D Line 1b.
