Why is turbo tax asking me to enter my financial institutions when I have already done that in mint? How many times is intuit going to make me enter this stuff?

We protect your Intuit Account with the latest technology for privacy and security. Unfortunately, this doesn’t allow a safe and secure way to merge multiple accounts.

It’s best to use the same Intuit Account when you use TurboTax each year and to use the same user ID and password for all experiences on the Intuit Platform, including TurboTax, Mint, and QuickBooks Self-Employed. This helps our products work better for you, and keeps all your info safe in one account. 

Please see this TurboTax help article about the difference between an Intuit account and a TurboTax account.

I *am* using the same account. I only have one intuit login. And I think this is the third year of using turbo tax and I don't remember having to do this before.
