Users have reported that turning off Ad Blocking and Advanced Security temporarily have allowed them to import successfully. Some also have router security that can be disabled temporarily.
Here's some other things to try on Troubleshooting TurboTax Desktop Issues.
If using TurboTax Desktop, and can't resolve an import issue, you can combine 1099-Int/Div 's info into one entry. For 1099-B data, you can summarize transactions and may not need to mail anything, depending on your transaction types. Here's more info on How to Enter a Summary in Lieu of Individual Transactions.
If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies. In TurboTax Online, you can save your 1099 info as a PDF and import it into your return.
Not sure where I can turn off Ad Blocking or Advanced Security in the Turbo Tax software.
this is happening with computershare as well, it was never an issue in the past and i am using the same hardware as ever year before.
I am using TurboTax Desktop and I am getting the same error
Not a good look for TurboTax. I am going to try H&R Block and TaxAct software to see if they are more user friendly.
If you are using TurboTax Online, try importing using a different browser.
