I'm trying to get to the community, but when i login with my intuit account  I get shoved off to questionaires about using TT online.  I do not want to get sucked into that, how do I just get to community to complain that the usual easy-to-use desktop version has this year stymied me  at the very beginning by not prompting for the same  1099s as always I  have every year even though it has the list of them but wants me to type in a name or find it in a list.

AI robot Catina answered the wrong question.  I am an indivdual trying to use turbo tax windows for the perhaps 40th year in a row and I can't get 2026 TT to enter the data from paper and pdf copies of 1099s like I always could.  TT now insists on trying to import data from the institutions on my last return and FAILS.  The usual list of past 1099s doesn't show up for me to step through and type the two or three numbers I usually did.

@grandpaknei First----to set you straight---TurboTax Catina is a real live human being who is employed by TurboTax---not an AI bot.  And she knows her stuff.    She is excellent.

 

It is too soon to import many kinds of tax documents.   Most financial institutions do not have their information formatted for import into tax software before mid to late February.   It may be visible to see or print from their websites, but you have to key it in by hand if you are not willing to wait for it to be formatted to import.
