I imported a capital gains txf file from Quicken 2011 to TurboTax premier. TT shows YES to "Needs Info?" but no help on what or where to change. I'm stumped!

 I imported a capital gains .txf file from Quicken 2011 to TurboTax 2016 premier. On the resulting screen titled "Here's the investment sales info we have so far" TT shows YES to "Needs Info?" but no clue on what or where to change.  I can edit the individual transactions, but they appear to be accurate and complete, correctly reflecting the data from Quicken.  My concern is that TT won't let me complete the return as long as the "Needs Info" question is answered YES, even though the entries appear to be accurate and complete.  (I have done this same thing for years with no problem.) Any advice?

Yes, if you are using TurboTax Desktop, you may access the actual forms to see if there is an error you can fix. (Forms Mode is available only in the CD/Download version of TurboTax.)

Here's how to switch to Forms Mode:

On the left column, look for form names with a red exclamation mark (!) - this means the form needs attention. If you click the Errors Icon above the list, a full description of any errors will appear below the form you have open. Click the form name to bring it into the viewing window.

On the form, look for fields in pink. These indicate missing information. Note that green numbers are imported from Quicken. Blue numbers are user input. The other colors are for calculated numbers or values brought over from a prior return. (See What's the meaning of all the different colors in Forms Mode?)
