FAQ

TurboTax is limited to 2251 transactions. If you have more than this, we will consolidate your transaction history so it fits into the TurboTax software. You will also need to mail your complete 8949 form to the IRS.

No, TurboTax does not automatically send the Summ Income Report to the IRS because the IRS e-file system cannot accept additional files. If the IRS needs it, they will request it from you directly. If you want to include the report voluntarily, you can print your tax return, attach the income report to the back, and mail it to the IRS.

If your report fails to upload, ensure you are importing it under the Federal section, not the Documents section. These sections serve different purposes, and uploading to the wrong one can cause errors.
