Anyone else having an issue in Turbotax where it's saying the etrade login

is invalid?  I go to the etrade website and enter my userid/password and it

works fine, but enter the same info in Turbotax and get an error.  Any ideas?

    Please ensure that you are selecting the correct E Trade Name within Turbo Tax . Some are similar for example - E trade Bank, E Trade Securities etc. You may review the full partner list here.

    Thanks I see multiple E*Trades in your list, but when I'm in the Turbo Tax software

    I only see E*Trade Securities and I think my investments are just in regular E*Trade.

    I don't see any other options listed within the software.  Where can I find the other

    choices?

    You're welcome.  Please try the E Trade securities option if you have not already done so.

    I used the etrade login to download investment income and did not experience any problems.

    I have tried it like 10 times and always get invalid login but when I go on the E*trade with same userid/password it works fine so only guess it that it’s a different E*trade site but really don’t know

    Yes, several people including me are having this same issue.  It's even been reported on Reddit.

    Were you able to get it resolved?

     

    Using TurboTax Deluxe, not online.  Getting the message:

    E*TRADE Securities:  Signon invalid.

    No and I have a ton of transactions that I don’t want to enter manually. Still trying to get it resolved so let me know if you find out anything

    Have you tried to manually copy and paste the web address for the e-trade login page into TurboTax?

    Most E*Trade accounts are now listed under Morgan Stanley for tax reporting - I entered Morgan Stanley into the TurboTax auto find feature and it loaded my ETrade account information after entering my ETrade login information.

    You have to enabled Third Party data sharing in security settings with etrade, then it works.

    I got this error message because my e-trade account was closed. You may be able to call them to re-open.
