I've used TurboTax for years and have never had to create an account with Intuit.
I was helping DS with his taxes and we wanted to import from Fidelity, at which point we were prompted to create an account with Intuit for "security reasons." DS took a hard pass and painstakingly entered all of the transactions by hand. Complete waste of time.
I don't import from Fidelity, but did the same with E-Trade and didn't have to create an Intuit account. This saved me a lot of time. Unfortunately, these aren't avoidable transactions.
I tried to search and found only one site that said it was required for some, but wasn't required for others, so I'm not sure what to believe.
I'm wondering if anybody here is able to import from Fidelity into TurboTax without creating an Intuit account?
I'd also be curious if other tax software has this requirement?
If there are alternatives then this might be the last year we use TurboTax.
