Importing 1099's from LPL Financial

The import process completes, I get a "Success" message from the third party but no valid numbers are loaded into TurboTax after I return to TurboTax from the third party. TurboTax shows an import was done but all the numbers are zero. Need a solution besides "enter it yourself" because importing 1099's has worked in the past.

Importing 1099's from LPL Financial

If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.

 

To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings:

  1. Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL.
  2. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu.
  3. Toggle the switch to ON.
  4. Refresh the page and attempt your import again.

If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play:

  • Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements.
  • Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back.
  • Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser.

Thank you. Your reply worked. 

Do I need to turn the security toggle back on after turning it off via the third-party dialog box OR was the permission a one-time event? If security toggle needs turned back on, what is the procedure?
