    Question about TurboTax and Fidelity Data Download

    I have several ETF's and preferred stocks that take their sweet time to report the breakdown of their distributions as to the qualified vs. non-qualified dividend vs. capital gain distribution vs. return of capital.

    There is now a 10% off coupon active on https://www.amazon.com/Quicken-Classic-Personal-Finance-Software/dp/B0CGMMK9C6 (Quicken Deluxe, list price 59.88). I guess that's the best we will get this year.

    TurboTax Max Discount Watch

    Last year, my gift card never came. I reported it and Amazon credited $10 back to my credit card. So don't forget about it.

    TurboTax Max Discount Watch

    Like you, I got Premier free from Fidelity until they took it away in 2018. I bought Premier in 2018 and 2019, but have used Deluxe ever since. It handles basic 1099 stuff. However when I sell any of my ESPP stock from a prior employer, I think I'll need Premier to handle that correctly (I...

    It is one of the cherished rituals of the holiday season. Makes me all warm and fuzzy and whatnot.

    Fidelity free Turbotax offer

    Ah, the annual debate that has no answer. I got free TT in 2016-17 but not in 2018 with over $2M and 30+ years of loyalty with them, the reason being that "your relationship with Fidelity is insufficient" in exactly those words. I will never forget that. I moved over half my Fidelity assets...

    Force Severance / Struggling

    Wait a minute. Who is laying off engineers? And giving them a year of severance? We don't lay off because we know the possibility of hiring replacements is pretty much zero (we've had openings for months to years and get literally NO qualified applicants). Retirements are killing us. From...

    Dividend reinvestment, I think I'm doing it wrong.

    I have been reinvesting dividends in my taxable account for over a decade. So I have literally thousands of little positions with their own cost basis. When the time comes that I want to start withdrawing dividends for cash to live on, it seems to me that it could be better tax-wise to cash...

    I've never submitted a claim against my HSA. Will the IRS audit me?

    I keep my last insurance claim "EOB's" for each year which state for example: "You've met a total of $1,813.29 toward your $3,000 in network family out of pocket expenses for 2022" Then sometime in the future, I'll take a 1813.29 HSA withdrawal to match it. I do have spreadsheets for each...

    Does anyone use Fidelity's Full View?

    There's never been any proof that it's based on account balance. And I am too lazy to go back and look up the old arguments about it.

    ALL the qualifications appear to be needed, then. Since I've had more than $250K at Fidelity for decades.

    Does anyone use Fidelity's Full View?

    Here is what I see. I am a customer since early 1987. Currently, a taxable account and a rollover IRA with them, combined about $1.5M. Also my current small 401k. At the end of 2018, I had about $1.7M there, right before they told me "my relationship with Fidelity was insufficient" for free...

    Does anyone use Fidelity's Full View?

    Schwab gave me a bonus big enough to pay for TT every year for maybe 50 years. Some new reps in the local Fidelity office invited me in awhile back, claiming to want to grow relationships with self-directed people like me. They fell all over themselves apologizing for TT and trying to lure...

    Does anyone use Fidelity's Full View?

    Interesting. There's no mention of that on my home page, and searching for "fidelity investor community" finds nothing. When they thumbed their nose at me a few years ago over TurboTax, telling me that my 30+ year relationship with them "was insufficient", I moved half of my accounts out to...

    Where is this Fidelity Forum? The only forum I know of is the "Greenline Forum" which over the years, has only been for Fidelity marketeers solicting confirmation of how wonderful they are.

    how to complain at hospital

    The question itself is a problem. "How to complain". Nobody likes a complainer. You need to get the staff all "wanting" to help you and/or your patient. Nobody wants to do a bad job. I know it seems that way, but everyone will do their best if properly motivated. No, it is not easy.

    Quicken Deluxe 40% off with coupon Amazon

    Yep, it's so wasteful for someone to package up a CD and have a truck deliver it just so I can get the code and type it in, but for some reason that's what they want. All done for another year.

    Experience with MLP in taxable account?

    When does it become a pain in the neck? I mean, you need to be aware of the filing thresholds in the various states, but for modest investments do you ever actually have to file returns?

    Thanks for the tip. I found Quicken for 40% off yesterday the 26th, but when I looked at TT it was still full price.
