Here's the answer to my question, after some clicking around. You can't do downloads on the 1099-MISC page (But you should be able to!), but I came to the electronic download option on the 1099-INT page, which also allowed me to do the 1099-MISC download that I was looking to do.
Poor SW interface design!
Enter the 1099-MISC manually on the panel for TurboTax 1099-MISC
No! I haven't needed to do this in many years. I have been able to electronically transfer my financial data from my Merrill Lynch account into TurboTax for a very long time. I don't see how to do this in this year's version of the desktop SW. Where do I go in the TurboTax SW to do this electronic download?
