It looks like all information is not downloaded.  On Review I have 463 errors, I cannot possibly add all the information needed / requested by the turbo-tax program?  Can these ne bypassed?

    If import does not go smooth, I will suggest to manually enter info.  For import, there are a limit on how many transactions TurboTax can handle.  See blue links below. Here are the steps:

     

    In TurboTax online,

    • Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
    • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in 1099b and Enter 
    • Select Jump to 1099b
    • Follow prompts
    • On-screen, "Let's import your tax info, select I'll type it myself
    • Follow prompts to continue

    You would receive a Form 1099-B if you have sold your stocks and bonds transactions during the year.  The transactions will generate either a long term or short term capital gain or loss depends on how long the stocks are being held.  The amount will be reported on line 7 of your Form 1040 along with a Schedule D and Form 8949.
