TDAMERITRADE 1099 IMPORT ISSUES!!

I've spent hours on the phone between TD Ameritrade (Schwab) and Turbotax with no resolution

I've done my taxes for years and know what I'm doing. TD Ameritrade was bought by Schwab and kept their 1099's separate and very clearly have 2 separate import processes.

TD Ameritrade says the account/control # is correct and should work

The people at Turbotax tried to act like no one was having issues upon my 1st call to them, Ameritrade guy confirmed multiple brokerages were having an issue with Turbotax.

I can clearly see people with Ameritrade and Schwab 1099's have been having issues on this site

I got boilerplate email instructions and nothing specific for the TD Ameritrade issue.

Basically when I try to import my 1099B via the Import function, after I enter the account # and control ID as seen on my 1099, turbotax just beeps and doest move forward to even getting a chance to see/download any data. My 1099 was generated on 2/26/25

I want the import function to work as it has every year including with way more transactions in my past returns than this year. I dont want to do a summary and send 50 pages to the IRS with wash sales.

TD Ameritrade import process is NOT the same as Schwab

there is nothing to enable

the 1099s come from 2 different sources

Just wanted to add that you're not alone. The Schwab 1099 imports fine but my TDA 1099 does not import after inputting my acct# and DocID. It starts "establishing a secure connection" then beeps and nothing happens.

I had the same problem. Googling led me to this site. Solution for TD Ameritrade imports was to temporarily disable the microsoft defnnder firewall setting "Microsoft Defender Firewall help protect your device while on public network"
I temporarily disabled this setting and entered the document ID again (somehow just disabling defender and keeping my previously typed document ID without retyping it didnt work I think on the first attempt) . This allows the desktop turubotax app to connnect to tdameritrade. I think I saw a comment from someone in the thread that they were not using the web version so this firewall stuff should not apply to them but in my case (windows 11) it actually did matter for the desktop app.

This helped...

If you use VPN or firewall, then turn it off and it works.

I am able to import TD Ameritrade 2024 tax document successfully, however it did not work with VPN. Ended up wasting an hour with Turbotax and Schwab customer service without any tangible help. The only suggestion we get is type it in manually.
