If the return has all the things that error message says, Id just skip the import and enter manually.

I screened shared with Intuit Agent Vanessa and she was unable to assist. She claims it is a known issue by their engineers.  I told her if Intuit can't fix it within a week I will request a refund on the product.

If you can enter those fields and save it's not locked.

As an experiment, can you create a new 1040 client and enter the following:

  • SSN with nine digits
  • Zip Code, Last Name, FirstName 
  • E-mail address

Then Choose Import - > Financial Institution Download -> Request 1099 and W2 Data from client...

Do you get the same error code or the FIDO request wizard?


I setup a sample taxpayer as suggested and I still get this same error. What is a FIDO?

To recap and augment, if you are getting that specific "validate error".. In addition to what it says, check

  • TaxPayer email is specified and correct (with no hidden characters, which could happen if you cut and paste from somewhere)
  • Preparer Name is Specified
  • Preparer Code is entered (and Self-Prepared / Non-Paid Preparer is not checked)

It was not anything I had entered as Intuit updated the program and I no longer getting the Validate Error, but alas the Financial Institution 1099 import is still not working for brokerages. See my latest update of 3/1/2021.
