Import from Quicken into TT 2024 desktop fails.

[Mark E McKenzie]

Turbotax Deluxe 2024 (desktop) gives a "there seems to be a problem" message when uploading from Quicken.  I have always been able to import before the end of the year so I can make adjustments if necessary before Dec 31.  If this is no longer allowed, then why is TurboTax even offered for sale before the end of the year.

You can try changing your computer date to next year.  See this thread

I did as suggested and set the date on my computer one year ahead.  And now I have a mess in Quicken as all of my scheduled transactions for the next year have been added to my registers.  This will take quite a while to fix (and I am not happy at all.)  I can't believe that Intuit is not reaching out to Quicken to work out a real solution instead of making TT users jump through hoops to do something that should be simple.

Based on other responses, I do not want to change my computer's date! (What a STUPID suggestion to get around bad programming!) Intuit/Quicken, you need to FIX THIS, for us who have kept your companies alive for over 30 years!!!

Just wanted to let you know that quicken now allows you to select the year. So the issues seems to have been resolved. And in addition it's a single export that includes the capital gains also instead of having to do two separate imports.

We're now in February 2025, and Turbotax still cannot import from my Quicken file.  I've been doing this for well over 20 years with no problems until now.  

Turbotax correctly displays the location of my Quicken file, but then I get the "something went wrong" message, which includes instructions ("Go back one step ...") that are inaccurate.  That is, going back one step doesn't allow me to do what the message says to do.

Is this the way of the future??

I found how to fix this (from some post that I don't recall.)  Seems that the problem is with the Visual C runtime modules on your PC (I'm guessing you are running on a windows machine.)  I searched for and found a zip file containing all of the various VC runtime versions and forced all to be installed on my machine.  That fixed it up.

The name of the downloaded file was Visual-C-Runtimes-All-in-One-Nov-2024.zip.  Sorry I can't recall where I found this.

Thanks Mark.  Yes, I'm running Windows 11 new-install as of July 2024.  I'm surprised that 

this is broken after all those years.  

I'm paranoid, so I have to ask:  Did installing the VB stuff break anything else???

When I try to do the import from Quicken, there is a .txf file created (in a bizarre place),

which I can import by hand if I need to.   I'll do that if there are any other problems with

updating the VB libraries....

[Mark E McKenzie]

Yeah nothing else broke when I did this. And I mistype initially and I have updated my post it's visual c run time. What I found is that my laptop being a newer laptop didn't have the older run times on it. And Windows update doesn't install those. And apparently TurboTax didn't include them in the distribution of this 2024 version. At the time I was having trouble it was working fine on my desktop which was a little older. So good luck with it.

And from what I recall it was a reputable download location not a questionable one that might have been full of viruses.

I located where I downloaded the runtime for VC.  It was

I hope this helps.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update.  Yes, I found the *.zip file in the same place and downloaded it.

Just because I was curious, I tried installing TT on my laptop (which is older, but now running W 11.  The TT installer said it needed a VC redist file from 2022, so I let it install that.  Following the install, I got the same error,

while trying the import from Quicken.   I will probably try installing VC libs from the *.zip file to see if that does 

any better.
