How do I import tax documents from Robinhood?

There is no import option. Turbotax is asking to list each stock manually. Last year I imported the entire 1099-B from Robinhood and it input everything. Please let me know how this is done?

If you are experiencing problems while importing from Robinhood, " In TurboTax, when prompted to “Choose your bank or brokerage,” enter “Robinhood” in the search field. TurboTax will ask for your account number, which can be found in the Tax Documents section of the Robinhood app. Please add "10-" before the first 8 digits of your account number (10-5XX12345). Do not include hyphens in your SSN."

 

You may experience difficulty uploading your Robinhood financial transaction history into TurboTax if you made close to 500 transactions in 2016. TurboTax Online can handle up to 500 transactions per brokerage account. However, online performance may deteriorate as you get close to this limit. For more information about this, or if you made more than 500 stock transactions, please see instructions here.

Hi,

This has not been working for me. I enter account number along the tax document Id but it doesn't import anything at all.

 

Please assist.

 

Thank you!

Same here:

I entered the account number as well as my document ID because Robinhood my statements were available.

I entered my account number (copied and pasted straight from the 1099 PDF)

as well as trying to copy and paste document ID, (with space, no space, with hyphen but all result in this error below)

 

Gave me this error:

That form wasn’t found
 

Something unexpected happened and we need to try again.

Enter your info again, and watch out for typos. If it still doesn't work, double check it with the financial institution to make sure it's correct. (907)

You may need to update your Robinhood app to the latest version. They have made changes to the app for the 2020 tax season. Please click How to Upload Your Form 1099 to TurboTax to learn more.

Having the same issue.

I emailed Robinhood but we all know how long that can take. Is this a problem with TurboTax?

I'm having the exact same issue. Don't even get to put in my account number or credentials.  As soon as I select Robinhood in the bank search it fires the error below

 

The 1099 import service for Robinhood - Robinhood Securities is currently unavailable. Please try your import again on February 21, 2021 at 12:00 AM PT.

 

I've tried on multiple browsers and still the same.  Robinhood's website does not have any help - just says it should be possible: How to Upload Your Form 1099 to TurboTax | Robinhood

 

Anyone find a fix yet or do we just hope for the best on the 21st?

It finally worked at 11:00am and imported so Robinhood seems to be working with Turbotax now.  Thank you
