TAX DROP ERROR 1

USED TAX DROPOFF TO TRANSFER FROM FINANCIAL INSTITUTION TO FORM 1040.  SOFTWARE SAYS ALL TRANSFERRED AND SHOWS SCREEN WITH ACCOUNT NUMBERS, 1099-B, 1099-INT AND 1099-DIV.  WHEN UPLOADING, POP UP WINDOW SAYS ENCOUNTERED ERROR CODE 1.  1099-B IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES NOT UPLOAD TO RETURN.  TECH SUPPORT SAYS THEY ARE AWARE ~ AND WORKING ON PROBLEM ~ LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE EARLY FEBRUARY.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS FIXABLE?

You can still make a pdf attachment and enter the the data and check the box for Summary from attached statement. You can do that for each group of data - ST with basis, LT without, LT with, ST without, ST not reported, LT not Reported. So at most 6 entries.

Thanks for your response.  However, my client has over 1,000 transactions for several accounts and I am trying to save time and my sanity by NOT typing in each transaction.

This feature in drop off worked so well in the past so just hoping to find another way.

Is the shift key on your keyboard broken?

Caps not intended to offend or shout .  I had just come out of my tax client's data input where I always use all caps.  Tax Drop off worked for interest and dividends so

I'm hoping to find a suggestion to help me avoid inputting 1,000 entries.

If tech support is working on it, then it is likely fixable. In the mean time, how hard is it to just do the input of the data? When you post here, you are asking other users and most of us don't know any more about the workings of the programmers than you do.

ALL CAPS MAY BE NICE FOR YOU, BUT MOST USERS HERE FIND IT HARD TO READ AND IT IS GENERALLY ONLY USED IF YOU WANT TO SHOUT!

I'm hoping to find a suggestion to help me avoid inputting 1,000 entries.  Since Tax drop off worked in the past for sales transactions and I bill by the hour, I cannot bill for having to manually enter over 1,000 transactions into Sch D.
