"E Trade Securities: 1099 forms not avaialble for user" Huh????

TY 2022 1099 forms have been available on the E Trade site since 2-10-23.

Message in TurboTax stated E Trade 1099 would not be available for download until 2-12-23.

On 2-12-23 message in TurboTax stated E Trade 1099 download would not be available until after 1PM on 2-13-23.

At 4PM on 2-13-23 message on TurboTax states "E Trade Securities: 1099 forms not available for user".

 

I have used TT and E Trade for over 20 years and never had this problem.

What in the world does this mean? Does this mean they will NEVER be available? If so, why not state that? Are there no solutions?

    Just tried to import my Etrade 1099 into TT.  Got the following message:

    "This import was unsuccessful

    There isn't any tax-related info to import right now.
    No problem - we'll help you enter the information and continue with your return."

    This is really frustrating. I call etrade they say to call TurboTax. I call turbo tax and they can’t tell me anything. I’ve been trying for 5 days to get this to upload and it keeps saying documents not found.

    Hello,  I just talked with E-trade and starting 2.16.23 the error should be resolved.  E-trade has to process a software update for the transfer to be allowed.

    Same problem here.  Successfully imported transactions from every financial institution except for E trade.  Is this going to be fixed or what?  Today is 2/15/23

    February 15, 2023

    Supposedly 2/16-2/18 will be fixed per several posts.

    Really disappointed with turbotax over this issue.

    Is TT looking for individual forms for 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B, and 1099-OID and cannot process the consolidated forms?  These forms for non-Morgan Stanley Private Bank customers are components of Consolidated 1099 forms.  All of my forms are in my Consolidated 1099 forms.  Seems like TT cannot process the 1099-Consolidated forms from E*Trade.  Hopefully TT and E*Trade will call each other to figure this out.

    February 15, 2023

    Something new has popped up.  Thankfully TT knows there's a problem now.

     

    Can't connect right now

     

     

     
    E*TRADE Securities
     

    The 1099 import service for E*TRADE is currently unavailable. Please try your import after 6PM PT.

    • Try getting this form another time.
    • Already have this tax info? You can enter it by hand.

    Add me to the list of etrade users that is bring told my tax forms are not available.  Hopefully this get resolved by the end of the week.

    February 15, 2023

    Well the error message has changed to :

    "This import was unsuccessful.

    There isn't any tax-related info to import right now...."

    previous error:

    "1099 forms not available for user" 

     

    They've done something, But this still doesn't help me. 

    Come on, let's get this fixed.

    It is so frustrating. The forms are available but TurboTax is not able to import it says nothing to import. I tried Etrade and merril edge both failed!!!

    February 16, 2023

    All documents are in Etrade but am unable to import those to TurboTax. 

    February 16, 2023

    +1 for someone else negatively impacted by this.  This is the last thing holding me back from finishing this up and peace of mind (+ a nice return), so please fix ASAP! 

    February 16, 2023

    Now the TT import message has gone back to "1099 forms not available for user" thingy!

    February 16, 2023

    I just downloaded all of mine from etrade.  It’s working at the moment.  And I’m a day trader, had over 300 trades
