Try using a different internet browser to see if this resolves the issue.

Try using a wifi connection, that's what worked for me. Course I had to walk down the street, 17° and snowing. Would have been easier to do it with paper and pen and mail it in.

I’m having the same issue. Can anyone tell me what they did to fix? Other browsers repeat the same issue.

I'm also having this issue. I was almost done filing as well. It's disheartening and makes me want to go somewhere else to do them if I'm going to have to start over anyway.

You guys seriously need to look at the above comments before sending a "generic" reply. No the internet connection is not the issue.

I have the same issue.  All was working just fine until I went to import my brokerage statements.

 

Much like everyone else - I followed the suggestions of clearing cookies, cache, different browser, standing on my head facing east, etc.

 

Clearly this is a problem with the web version of the software and if not resolved in a timely manner, I'll be leaving TT for good and using different tax prep.

 

@Intuit, @TurboTax - please post meaningful resolution or just tell us to go elsewhere.

Same here. I was on with support for an hour and they couldn’t help me. This was after trying to important my statement from Robinhood. Every time I try to click on any button on multiple

browers, phones, WiFi’s, iPad, I get the SAME message. It’s something with pulling in the statements. Why am I paying for premier if I am running into issues. “Ready to be impressed?”.. not impressive .. and the customer service is awful.

Got the same message on phone and Turbo Tax Online......

Took the risk of getting the CD version/download of Turbo Tax - It worked....took some time to import the transactions from Robinhood (approx 2000 ) but it worked......

Yes I have been having the same problem and the turbotax support is so bad and unhelpful. Obviously it's not my internet connection. Can we sue if they don't get it fixed? Seems like a huge problem they are overlooking for a lot of customers.
