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.

Same problem here. Same message. FRUSTRATING!!!

Just got off the phone with TT support. Importing from Quicken doesn't work. Workaround as follows:

In Quicken, file, export, select either of 2 TT options. This will create a .TXF file. Then in TT file, import from accounting software, choose TXF file option. This appears to work with option to select/deselect from the list.

Nope, I appreciate the effort but this doesn't work. I just got off the phone with Quicken who walked me through everything they could think of and swear the problem is not on their end (or mind). Problem is getting in touch with tech support at TT. Quicken picks up the phone right away and worked with me for over 45 mins trying to get this to work. The entire reason I use both programs is because they were created together for this purpose. I spent countless hours entering data & categorizing through the year, now finding it was for naught.... but I'll try to get ahold of a human at TT, since clearly this issue is standard

The solution I posted on 2/14/21 worked for me at that time. Perhaps something changed since then. The number I saved for Turbo Tax support is [phone number removed].

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.
