TurboTax 2020 version [phone number removed] won't import data from quicken 2020 version R30.14 Build 27.1.30.14.

I just get the error message: "Please be sure that Quicken is running and a valid Quicken data file has been selected before trying to use Quicken import."

I validated the Quicken file and there are no errors. I have rebooted, restarted Quicken and TurboTax to no avail.

they answered that you should NOT open Quicken on your own, but let TurboTax open Quicken directly. That appears to have worked for me!

Thanks for the suggestion. But this does not work either. I am using Quicken version R32.12 Windows 10 Home. Home, Business & Rental Property. When I have it running TT shows an error box "Be sure that quicken is running and a valid Q data file has been selected before importing"

I insured that, and it still brings up the same error message. Of course when I don't have Q running, it gives the same error. Countless hours of data entry go to waste when the systems don't sync. This is why I have been using both systems since they were created (originally by the same company).

Please advise

Sorry that this didn't work for you. I don't understand all the variables of this bug.

I'm running Quicken Premier, Version R32.12, Windows 10 Home.

It only recognizes one. And tries to put the data for both into one Schedule. I imported last year without issue. And I have not changed the way I organize my data. I dont understand why it want recongnize their are two Schedule E's, each with their respective data and are properly tagged in Quicken. PLease help if you can. Otherwise, all my other personal data imports without issue. I tried to post a new topic but I do not now where to do that.
