Issues When Importing or Creating Large Numbers of Broker Transactions

You may see a message similar to We notice you have more than 500 financial transactions to import. TurboTax Online wasn't designed to handle this many transactions if you import or create hundreds of transactions in TurboTax Online.

To get around this limitation, try switching to TurboTax CD/Download software (which can handle up to 2,000—2,500 transactions) or click here for a workaround.

If you attempt to import more than 2,000—2,500 financial transactions into your TurboTax software program, you may get a message indicating you've exceeded the number of transactions you can import.

TurboTax may also slow down to a crawl and may even stop responding, requiring a reboot. (This can also happen in the unlikely event that you've manually entered thousands of transactions.)

TurboTax has a 9-digit limit in data entry fields; when exceeding that limit, you'll get the message similar to The value is too large for this field. More info
