On the import page did you scroll down? there should be a link to skip import.

You are correct, there should be an option to opt out of importing, but the only option at the bottom of the page is "Confirm" ?????

Thanks

I have the same issue in Turbotax Premier.

 

I do not want to import. I got to the page with only the "confirm" by saying I wanted to work on items I chose, not the walk-me-through-it route, but landed on the same one the original user did.

 

I am a little concerned no one, including TT help, hasn't provided an answer to this original question in a week. This suggests we might be dead in the water.

The confirm button is for when you are done with the investments page. Don't confirm until you are done reviewing and adding investments.  If you need to add another investment, select Add investment. The next page allows you to import or skip import.

I agree with the other User.  There has always been a way to 'Opt Out' of the whole Import process, instead of having to repeat the same meaningless steps in order to 'User Enter' the data.  Manually adding 1099's used to be straight forword. 

Also, I have not seen where I can enter more that just a single field of Payer's Info -> 'Received From'.  In the past, I think I have been required to enter the Payer's Address and Payer ID.
